Confirms what I have said several times here....there's Chinooks and there's slingloads!

Actually, there are MI-26's and there are slingloads. The Mi-26 carried 88,000 lbs of concrete to 10,000 feet once. This is about the weight of two Chinooks, chopped up into small pieces and rolled into a net (not a bad picture, actually!)

That was pretty cool. Would have liked to have seen more video than pictures though.

Good stuff!!
