Pics of the Air Crane??

Gidday Jeff,

From memory, Sikorsky gave the S-64 aircraft the nick "Skycrane", whereas the company that operates them in Oz is called "Erickson Air-crane".

And why do people call them all "Elvis"? There are probably a dozen Erickson Skycranes in use around the world and only one (N179AC) is Elvis. The one on the Plumpton site above is labelled as Elvis but is clearly Georgia Peach (N154AC).

Hi Stephen,
You'd have to ask the owner of that website. I suspect it's a generic name the owner has given to the type (as 'Elvis' was the first of it's type to be used here on fires).

Thanks Leroy
Yea- they were excellent pics.
I must admit to you, I have sent them around to interested partys.
Maybe you should claim royalties???
