That is one seriously impressive longline pick. Talk about threading the needle. And with the ship doing the lift not substantially more powerful than the one being flown out. 407/206. Dang.

I expected a Bell 212 and was surprised to see the Bell 407 was capable of the lift. Pilot was awesome. Thank you for commenting.

I see what you mean. I looked up the description in my firefighting aircraft recognition guide and I read that the Bell 407 is described as "based on the older Bell 206L-3 with some major modifications from older models including the four bladed main rotor system and increased engine performance making it the light helicopter of choice at many bases. The helicopter's increased airspeed, lifting capability and improved density altitude performance makes this helicopter ideal for wildland initial fire attack". I have some experience working on wildlife management projects in the Eastern Sierra out of the 206B back in the 70's and 80's. I have fond memories of the ship serving as a very capable machine for our uses at the time in sling-loading out captured Desert Bighorn Sheep for relocation to their new habitat.@@michaelcohen904

Indeed. After 20 years in the army doing aviation maintenance, as an aerial observer, scout platoon sergeant and and maintenance inspector, specifically on the OH-58 (Bell 206) and others, it just caught my attention. Kind of like when people call helicopters "Choppers". lol Choppers have two wheels and long front forks. (-: @@Trackup1

The straps hanging from the skids are used by ground personnel to guide the the helicopter into position as it is lowered on the trailer.

I don't think I would have relied on the main mast s a good point to hook too. It was moving round like it was broke. I Might have gone around the MGB frame, or at lest something that wasn't moving around when you wiggled it!!

What do you think the mast does??? The rotor is attached to the mast which holds the aircraft in the air! The mast is the beefiest stongest component on the entire aircraft! So why would you be afraid to attatch the long line to the mast???? Like saying I don't think I would jack up your car by the axle! Duh! 😜😝😁🤭

@@joncox9719 I know that the mass is the single most strongest point, but what the mass is attached to was not the strongest point after the crash. You saw it move when he started lifting it. The mass shouldn’t be moving like it did. If I was in charge of the lift, once I saw that movement, I would have called it off. It could have fell on its way to where ever they were dropping it off to.

Wikipedia states the Max Hook Weight of a 407 as 2646 pounds and the empty weight of a 206 as 2331 pounds. It looks like the engine on the 206 has been removed. Look at all of that, I can see where a 407 is more than capable of lifting the 206 in those conditions. Still an interesting choice for the lift, though.
