the end of the video isnt showing where we went back to the roof set down light on the pad (cuz the pad wont support the weight of a blackhawk) and picked up the main rotor blades which hung out both side of the aircraft 6 ft. (3ft on each side) That was the most interesting part of the ride since they were in a blade rack and all the wind from forward motion was moving them around. Was a Good Day.
@uhcenvg I remember that, though I don't know why I didn't film it. We did watch the whole lift though. You guys did an outstanding job! I have a really good still pic of the sling loaded heli. I don't know if yall have any stills of it, but pm me and I'll email you a copy.
I was the crew chief on this flight. The first time we have lifted another helicopter. We were also called up by the Governor to do the lift that day.
I was on the parking garage roof that day watching it and they did an awesome job!!!

Good piloting, excellent collective control and descent rate under heavy load conditions!

The helicopter had a transmission chip light come on when approaching the helipad for landing. The transmission was making metal.
