Perhaps you can build a matching scale C-130 and paint "Look ma no hook" on the side to commemorate that historic experiment. Please keep the pics coming as you progress with your work that is already off to a great start.

Although that crane does lift aircraft to the elevator from the pier, I believe it is actually termed the boat crane. As I wasn't a boatswain's mate, I could be wrong, but it was their crane. Good progress, raider.
