    3. It's like a lottery ticket for a lot of women ... they think getting married is their path to a life of leisure and being taken care of. Like getting your own male slave to make money for you and buy you things.

    2. I did a brief stint at HVAC Exchange 2010-11. We contracted one of those choppers to remove and replace LARGE AC units from the top of a high rise hospital in San Diego. We took over their one square block parking lot for two days. AWESOME choppers!

    2. #4 The climber on the via ferrata is secured with a rope in a harness (visible at the left bottom corner at the beginning).

      During WW1 Austrians and Italians fought each other on them in the Dolomites. Unsecurd.

  6. What is going on in #3. Is this spoil dumped in to this conveyor belted channel? And what is the rear guy doing, collecting little boards and placing them on a little platform????

    1. The boards were placed to keep it all from going on the conveyor, either their internal hoppers can't take the full volume, they weren't ready for it when delivered, or that much weight all at once stops the conveyor.

      Really sucks when you have frozen aggregate trying to go through grizzly bars in a vertical pit and the steam generator leaves an empty pocket you have to stand on and poke with a long 2x2.

    2. Thank you! I was having a hell of a time trying to figure out why somebody would have a concrete storage bin filled with sand or gravel mixed with, for some damned reason, bricks. And then somebody fishing the bricks out of the stream of sand?

      Boards to protect the conveyor belt from having to move the hole pile at the same time makes much more sense.

    3. The other thing going on in #3 is somebody is gonna get smothered to death in an engulfment if he does that once too often unless whatever the belt conveyor is feeding doesn't chew him up first.

    1. The Air Museum at the old Castle AFB near Atwater CA has (or had) one on display. I believe they called it a 'Pedro' medevac.

    2. The way the rotors are timed...there must be elliptical gears in there. Somebody busted all his brain cells.on that thing.

      "He's thinking about other women."
      "...but if the outboard part of the wing swings more slowly so as to take advantage of the overall fuselage velocity and angle of attack, do I risk a resonance function between the rotor stems that will require active damping..."

    3. #10 This is actually a K-Max, a newer design than the HH-43 Huskie, certified in the early 90's. It was initially designed for logging but most recently has been converted to pilotless autonomous operation for military resupply in war zones among other applications. It was the brainchild of Charlie Kaman, an amazing engineer and entrepreneur who founded and grew Kaman Corporation into a billion dollar company.
