Its just a gta 5 mission.
vikraal
that must have been an important piece of construction, renting one for 12 weeks costs upwards of 2million dollars.
LokJok
I thought it was a screen capture from GTA V.
ModernOhioan
Am I wrong or does it look like the blades are angled the wrong way? It appears as if spinning this direction would push it down.
KnifeKnut
Sweet. I have the lego version.

How much fuel is it able to carry ? It seems both thirsty and with limited tanks.
JamiesEPIRB
That's it?

GTA V expansion?

I'd like to think it was just a super windy day blowing a helicopter slowly upwards

My construction company uses these birds all the time for crane picks in Chicago! They are so cool and the pilots are pretty badass too
FlashThunder1944
Imagine trying to snake that fucker through all those buildings. You Battlefield nerds know what I'm talking about.
Xandraelle
I always loved flying through the parking garages and under bridges
DuckyofDeath123
And Battlefield doesn't have the winds, updrafts and microclimate problems you get in a real town.
greetingsimmatt
Isn't that just neatest thing you've seen all day?

Nice. You know where it was going?

I really enjoyed that show as a kid. Got to see the helicopter fly around downtown San Diego a few times.

They must have gone threw bureaucratic hoops to be allowed to pilot a helicopter between skyscrapers.
vtwinmax
Lovin the frame rate.
CaptainTallPants
The best is when the blades don't move at all
TheAmazingSpiderDad
It's the best part of every helicopter gif
AddictiveTendancies
Awesome! Where/when in Chicago was this?
rk1217
Near wacker and Randolph, around June

I WAS WORKING AT A NEARBY RESTAURANT THAT DAY I LOVE THAT SOMEONE FINALLY POSTED IT!

IS THIS HOW PEOPLE HAD TO ORDER ON THE PATIO?!

I WAS FLYING THE HELICOPTER CRANE THAT DAY

OBLIGATORY PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. (Why did I use all caps?)
Remmon1
WE'RE ALL DEAF FROM BEING IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF THE SKYCRANE. THAT SHIT'S LOUD!

Your mom's dildo wouldn't fit through the door I take it?

I like the accuracy of your post about OP's mom's dildo and tying into aviation science. That's the type of shit I went to college for.
grandmastonguekiss
That's because your moms vagina is big! Ooohhhhh burn!

Sikorsky skycrane. Didn't think any were still flying. Awesome.
Beeseik
Saw one in Nevada last month on a widfire
ripmonk
Yeah man. Still plenty around, don't you worry your lil butt
n8wishim
They are quite common (still) in the Alpes for heli- logging.
AllYourDownvotesAreBelongToUs
There are many in Newfoundland. Use them for forest fires.
turbotricycle
Yeah there aren't very many though. Last I heard they were down in the teens. I saw one about a year ago, they're loud bastards.
BlueSkiesChris
1/ About 5 years ago, they used a SkyCrane to lift the massive A/C units onto the roof of a Super Walmart about 1/4 mile from my office. It

2/ caused the pens in the mug on my desk to vibrate, it was beating the air so hard.

And that's what $9,000 an hour looks like.

We better have something equally as cool to replace them!

In Europe the Kaman K-MAX has replaced it for many tasks:

These are very interesting birds. Two rotors right next to each other at slight angles synchronized so they mesh.
Starbolt81
There's one in Western Australia used for firefighting
SomeDudeWithAUsername
Saw that on the fire ground one day taking on water from a dam. You should see how the thing just... bends as it's sucking it up
MrCoolGuy
That's what she said!
DoyleMcPoyle
elvis? i thought that was just borrowed?
ilikebenches
Pretty sure Elvis (and 2 others) is shared between several countries.
Lvaneede
So, a helicopter just for lifting things?
tooomanysteves
Yes.
turbotricycle
Yup
laboon
Also i would imagine lowering them.
Kyorbi
Imagining a helicrane leaving cargo boxes in the sky is too funny
Jamesbaxster
It's literally called a sky crane.
Lulabel73
They fight fires too.

can't you just reset your password?
MitchBeaucannon
Nice.
superdudedto
Also in Australia used as water bombers in bush fires. Hercules is the most famous I think.
koldfusion
Could you imagine the time it would take to set up a crane?
yupthatsbullshit
I'm a crane operator. 500 ton hydro with a luffing jib would take about 4 hours
RandomAbscessMemories
Could it have set up and operated there, though? That parking lot looks like about the only open space around.
AndIThinkToMyselfWhatAWonderfulWorld
Assuming the cargo was already on-site, it would take maybe an hour to fly to the site, 5 mins to hook everything up and then 5-10 min lift

Ah yes. In my day we called them a McSpinny Dervish.

Well no, they also move things, and move people.
