Which unit is this USAF Chinook from in 1979?

Can any one I dentify the USAF Squadron to which this Chinook belonged in 1979, which transported my Army unit in to the field during NATO exercises in Autumn 1979?

Hopefully the Geronimo name will help which I think was carried by all the aircraft.

It looks like part of the serial 676 is painted on the windows?

Thanks in advance

205th Aviation Company "The Geronimos", then based in Germany flying CH-47Cs.

BTW, US Army, not USAF.

The Chinook (or S***hook, or just plain 'hook) is way not good enough for the USAF.
