Okay, okay.... here's a photo-chop I did on a "G" model 53 a while back... a modern day SkyCrane!
Both aircraft have their own virtues; their own roles, at which they excel. Whenever a "53" crew came around, they always liked hanging around, staring at our aircraft, and talking with the Hook crews.... just like WE use to hang around, staring at theirs', and talk to them when we were in their AO. It was a mutual admiration type association... the same as we should have here, right?
On a side-note.... I'm sure everyone's seen Vietnam era photos of CH-54's slinging a CH-47.... but, has anyone ever seen a Chinook slinging a Crane?
Take care,
Frank
