The Osprey has had a quite a few issues, which may be what you're thinking of. It was regarded as a death trap by many, but it is flying in combat now without issue. Pretty revolutionary design.
The Marines use the CH-46 Sea King, which I do not know much about. It is defintely different from the CH-47 Chinook, though.
Chinooks are badass, straight up.
Sorry for the hijack, now back to your regularly scheduled program!
