    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.

    Think the 38,000 lbs was total weight, including the chopper. It had 3 engines. Two main and one APU was only for Hydrolics

    Awesome aircraft, wish the AF had ordered them with guns in the beginning. Lots of rockets didn't work.

    Used to watch the F-4s flying all the time. They were right next to us and lots of times we'd be hovering, waiting on one to take off
