David,

Thanks for an interesting read. I learned something tonight. I *thought* the skycrane
was the heaviest lift helo until tonight.

Wes,

I was surprised and I thought the odd looking helicopter, the
Sikorsky CH-54, was the heaviest lift and Soviet but turns out to be
nowhere near the heaviest lift, that featured in a Hollywood movie
lifting a bus IIRC. Must have been embarrassing for the Chinook to be
picked up by the Soviet MI-26 but what the hell Sikorsky was Russian
to start with.
