More pics from Cypress...
Aside from some military heilos, the Sikorsky SkyCrane is one of the most impressive hunks of junk ever herded through the sky.
Taking on fuel in the parking lot at CYM.
With such odd empennage, the flight characteristics of this beastie is troublesome at best; Add a ton or two of snow in a container at the end of the cable, thrown some variable winds and another heilo working in the same airspace and it makes for some interesting aerial ballet...
Two days until opening ceremonies. Woo hoo.

I would pay a large sum of money to ride in that thing for an hour.
Pay for a ride?
Now that's not liberal thinking... It is your right to be given a ride.
No one asked for your input you rock climbing hippie.
I WISH I was still rock climbing!!! I'll have to leave that up to Hamster at this point. and for the record, I'd happily ride in the chopper too.
btw Trav...digging the new handle there.
