Description: If you love giant helicopters starting up, winding up and taking off, you'll enjoy this long video of two very rare vintage Skycranes that came to town. Both of these are Sikorskys, not Ericksons. Due to the forest fires near us, they were using our airport as a makeshift base for two of these mighty machines for the last couple weeks. I collected a lot of interesting footage of them, trying to get different camera angles of them taking off and landing. These are powerful beasts but are quite gangly and awkward at times.
