When I've seen them flying over my house the gear is always down.

The landing gear system consists of four non-retractable landing gears: two forward and two aft. The forward landing gear assemblies are fixed non-swiveling type, with two wheels per assembly, while the aft gear utilizes one wheel per assembly. A power steering unit is installed on the right aft gear only. Some early CH-47A aircraft are equipped with standard aft gear with two wheels at each location, but without power steering.
From here, page 9.

I could have sworn I'd seen them wheels-up.
