No title, bill of sale only.

Numbers match, easy fix at the DMV. Just don't have the time/lost interest.

Just send a Ukrainian farmer and a tractor

47 will max out the hook before lifting a CV22. Even a 53 isn’t on a regular day configured to pick up something like that. It’s also an aerodynamic load which makes for all sorts of interesting requirements as far as max airspeed it can be flown at to avoid it making its own decisions as to what it’s doing beneath the sling aircraft.

In case anyone is curious about what an "aerodynamic load" means,



wait for it.

Slinging aerodynamic loads without drag chutes or without securing or removing lifting airfoils, will become problematic. Have seen that happen.

LCAC it!

Helicopters have the best bloopers.

The only problem is that too many people die in said bloopers.

But I'm gonna stick my nose out there and say that holy crap, they hauled that fuse away in no freakin' time. That whole video was only a couple mins long.

Looks like some local got a new chicken coop

This is a good video about ADM as well as a cub recovery.

Strip the guts, paint it rainbow, and make it healing center

It seems to me like the CH-53 sling load video was playing at a faster than normal rate. Maybe they weren't going as fast as it seems.
