I was pleasantly surprised to find out this was not a toy helicopter.

When I saw the LiveLeak logo I thought for sure I was going to see if somebody died.

Almost like he's done it before. Awesome skill.

No need for guys on the ground, easily can run wire from above, move along...

Wait what happened to the eiffel tower? Did it break?
SatoriEnlightenment
How did he see, was he watching a a monitor from cameras located near the joining parts?

Large orange rotary winged storks bring them, everyone knows that.

I'm sitting on the toilet. My exhaust fan is on. Essentially this gif had sound for me...

Exhaust fan, haha

... Of all the ways that I thought these were constructed/moved into place, this was not one of them.

Fun fact: Israelis used helicopters to steal a Soviet radar from Egypt decades ago.

Is this an Amazon Air Prime delivery?

The helicopter's name is Bubba. I use to be a quality control inspector on this job. https://imgur.com/gH11qDM

Or at least one very similar to it.

Did you try using a helicopter?
solmazer
I love imgur
Darwinmc
Why didn't I think of that earlier?!

Wow how is that even possible? Skillsssss
xgambitx
This is almost too hard to appreciate, the skill and precision to do this blows my mind. I don't know what they're paid but it's not enough
Error404TrollNotFound
Some heavy crane operators I’ve been around make over a hundred bucks an hour, so I bet a helicopter pilot doing a similar job makes bank.

I have crazy respect to both, ultimate in environmental awareness

FYI there are two pilots each with a set of controls. One in the front for travel, and one facing backwards at the belly to place
Aerolfoz
Doing something like this in a game with third person is already ridiculously difficult though... doesn't help that much I'd imagine
FarmerFrance
I worked on a crew with one of these choppers. They would stress test it by hooking onto the excavator and increasing thrust
FarmerFrance
, you could see the blades start to bend upwards into a bowl shape.. incredible machines.
DeniseFlemingIsATampon
Sounds pretty bad ass. Any idea what they lifting capacity is?
DougDeNasty
Design is 20,000 pounds. Weather can alter that limit. Hot weather, less lift, cold leather, more lift.

Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane
P7M8
NO! CH-54 dammit. I will never recognize that upstart "S-64"
robobunnyballs
S-64 is just the designator for the civilian version. Just like the S-70 is the designator for the civilian version for the UH-60.

Jonnyboythejaunty
I've been on a site with these skycranes before, wonder if it's one of the same ones, either named Gerry or Bubba
BrownJellyTrail
The cargo capacity of those things are incredible.
SpecialEdForces
20,000 pounds according to the Wikipedia page.
BrownJellyTrail
TIL, Incredible = 20,000 pounds.
maliciousGman
I hear they guzzle fuel like it's nobody's business. Though, I'd guess they'd have to to lift whatever the fuck you want.
gr8snd
Those some serious flying chops.
fastfire57
That's why they get paid the big bucks..
NovemberHotelLima
I think those things have three pilots, with one in the back that looks specifically at the load they are carrying. Serious skill
Thund3rbolt
Some not so serious chops -
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
I'm sure I saw a video a while back where it was frame synced like that but the helicopter flips and hits the water and then there's no sync
gr8snd
Talk about a frame sync!
ctennessen
Dumbass forgot to spin the rotors. /s
JeevesMkii
I bet that pilot played a lot of lunar lander as a kid.
MarkOfTheCovenant
I live near some of these lines and they suspend a man from heli to maintain them and it's wild.
