| #7 How... Be kinda like taking a tow truck to the prom. Works same as the other nose jobs I guess. Refuel after lift, then in route and/or on return. |

| #6 It can lift 7,000 pounds more than a Sky Crane at 29,000 pounds. That's some lift. |

| #4 All 53's come with the refueling probe these days. Mounted on the pilot's side, so he can 'shoot the birdy', the drogue from a C-130. they usually work in teams. |
