That is one ugly helo. 40,000lb lift, fly eighty troops or sixty wounded civilians.

I'd like to see how it's configured for fire-fighting.

Think of the logging opportunities TB

I'm always thinking about logging ;)

Back of the envelope: skycrane lifts 20,000, 1/3 of a truckload ...

The trouble with that is those logs left to fly are best left standing.

That is one noisy beast! One thing I noted is that I didn't see a single cable cutter on it either top or bottom.
