Heliops: MV Rena article
Without coming across as being too pedantic but I have to ask.....
How does the 214 pilot and the journalist conclude that the 214b is in the same category as a skycrane or chinook? Last time I checked the 234 & the 54/64 have a whole extra engine and can lift, ohhh I dunno roughly 7 tons more at a time than a 214? Maybe I have interpreted it incorrectly but it sounds like the article author is quoting the pilot verbatim.
Are they having a lend or is it just another case of poor unsubstantiated journalism?
