I used to work on the SkyCrane and if I remember right, it had a max load capacity of about 10 tons. LOVED those Birds and hated it when we changed of to Chinooks. We even flew all the way to California to pull support for some ops in the mountains. Thats the day I found out you DO NOT step on the yellow line at the airfield. Me and another fella found ourselves facedown on the hot concrete with a M-16 at the back of our head.
At'd be a Poohook Lol
Think the 38,000 lbs was total weight, including the chopper. It had 3 engines. Two main and one APU was only for Hydrolics
F-4E Phantom. Can carry 18,000+ lbs of weapons at Mach 2+. Still in service now after 50+ years.Quote:
