Description
"The Sikorsky S64 Sky Crane, largest helicopter build in the free world, was pressed into service to take a huge crane from inside a structure being build at 555 Capitol Mall. The job, expected to take about five working days by conventional means, was completed in just over two hours, so the $4,000-per-hour cost was deemed justified. The copter previously was used in logging operations"
