As I always tell people, I don't believe helicopters fly. Airplanes make perfect sense. Helicopters? no way. :) Ya, I do know technically how they work. It just doesn't seem right, even when I was standing there watching this one while I was filming it.
Helicopter pilots have my deep respect, as they are the purveyors of a very special black magic.
@JWSmythe oh right, my mistake then, im only going by British military ones which proberbly have some extra fuel and armour taking up some of the lifting weight makign it a medium lift. the civilian versions must be different.
The Russian helicopter can carry CH together with this cargo

It's amazing manmade had made aircraft that can lift themselves, let alone heavy HVAC equipment, etc...

I wonder if this is one of the converted 'nooks' that used to do the North Sea oil support in the 80s? Anyone know?

errrr ide hate to tell you, but the CH 47 chinook is a medium lift helicopter not a heavy lift helicopter.

Well, from what I found, it is heavy lift.
The Boeing page indicates it's for very heavy cargo
Wikipedia clarifies this as this would be a CH-47D, which is the only one the FAA authorized for commercial/civilian use.
Previous models had smaller engines, which you may be confusing it with.
