  1. The thing to marvel at here is not so much that the Helo can lift it but that the cable will carry that load.

  4. Needed one of these to haul out some of the NVA caches that we found along a river out of our base at Phu Bai. Some of it is at the 101st museum at Fort Campbell. Listed as captured by B and C company of 1/327.
