Vertol vs Ford

There's a thread over on the Mil forum, with this video showing a Vertol 107 dropping a load into the tray of a Ford.

Apart from the reference to a Chinook, and the swing on the load, quite an interesting project

Sheesh, what a crock of %&^*! Do the advertising guru's/media types think that heli people never see these things? Just as well I never bought that Ford if this is what they spend their advertising budget on. Also, the owner/operator of the "Chinook" should be taken to task for making a quick buck out of this

Nobody notice the guide wires that guided the box into the bed of the truck ! I guess they did it first take, as the guide lines are clearly visible, and they actually make a point of showing them attach them through the bed of the truck!
