    A pair of CH-47F Chinook helicopters from B Company, 1st Battalion, 52nd Aviation Regiment (one landed and one flying) are dwarfed by the Alaska Range April 24. Three crews from the U.S. Army Alaska Aviation Task Force spent a week in Talkeetna, Alaska, training in high altitude flying through the mountains and continued a longstanding partnership with the National Park Service to shuttle equipment and supplies to the Park Service base camp on Kahiltna Glacier for the upcoming climbing season on Denali.
