Not a great shot, but here's an interesting firefighting Chinook I got a glimpse of on Sunday:

Not a great shot, but I had to be quick with the camera - caught sight of it just to the south of the house, towards the airport in Flagstaff - Chi Aviation's uniquely painted CH-47D Chinook N947CH. According to their website, it is used for "medical evacuation, disaster relief, search and rescue, aircraft recovery, fire fighting, parachute drops, heavy construction and civil development." Apparently, it was on its way to a big fire in Colorado:
