British forces nickname for the Chinook, straight-up onomatopoeia for the unmistakable 'wokka-wokka-wokka' beat the twin tandem rotors make as they slap the air. If you've been near one you know the sound before you see it. Universal across the British Army and RAF — pilots, crew, and the squaddies riding in the back all use it.
“Two Wokkas inbound for the casevac — get him on the stretcher.”
