Chinook vs speed boat
Chinook vs speed boat

Looks like the folks at the Royal Netherlands Air Force aren’t afraid of a little fun judging by this footage out of Holland. The pilot of this Boeing CH-47F Chinook helicopter couldn’t help themselves when they spotted a speed boat cruising along during a low altitude flyby and decided to double back and initiate a little impromptu drag race to see who was faster. Chinooks have a top speed of 170 knots (200 mph) so it wasn’t much of a contest against a single outboard motor but it was very cool for the boater nonetheless. Make sure to check out the last video for the ultimate Dutch boating move:

Does it get anymore Dutch than using a bike to trailer your motorboat?
