Boeing CH-47 Chinook (N245CH) - KRDD Nov 12 2020 I was parked at lunch and there is usually no air traffic at Redding quite often - I figured most of the Air tankers had finally left for home bases and I was looking north and I saw something spinning like a rotor behind the Civil Air Patrol building by the Canberra. A minute later the Columbia heavy lift Chinook eases out towards the hold bars for departure, and sat for 5 minutes running the jets and high speed rotors. I got out for video as I'd never seen a Columbia Chinook depart. Though they hid behind that one tree at Redding - I was able to get decent video - Im unsure this -47 was headed home, as it is now raining pretty good here so hopefully fire season 2020 is finally over!
