    A military tandem-rotor helicopter, consistent with a CH-47 Chinook, is airborne and conducting a sling-load operation. It is transporting what appears to be a howitzer artillery piece suspended beneath it via multiple sling cables. The image is taken from a low angle against a pale blue sky, with the aircraft viewed nearly head-on.

    A CH-47 Chinook helicopter piloted by U.S. Army aviators with the 224th Aviation Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, lifts off with an M777 howitzer from Battery C, 1st Battalion, 320th Field Artillery Regiment, Task Force Strike, during a sling load training exercise Aug. 12, 2016, in Erbil, Iraq. The Soldiers conducted the training to maintain their proficiency in sling load operations while deployed to Iraq in support of Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve. Battery C provides indirect fire support for Iraqi security forces as they continue to combat Da’esh and re-take lost terrain. (U.S. Army photo by 1st Lt. Daniel Johnson/Released)
