Trivia[]
- CH-47 models have been shared between games multiple times:
- In Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, the Belkan CH-47s are the same as Yuktobanian CH-47s in Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, including the Yuktobanian Air Force markings.
- In Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception and Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy, the Leasath and Usean rebel CH-47 ace Comet (respectively) are the same as Osean CH-47 models in Ace Combat 5, including the Osean Air Defense Force markings.
- In Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, the Yuktobanian CH-47's camouflage scheme seems to be based off the JGSDF's CH-47J's.
- In Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, despite being a common enemy target, Erusean CH-47s are never airborne.
- During development of the game, the chopper appears on the HUD as "CH-47D", specifying the variant of the aircraft.
