if I saw it in person, lol! Pictures just don't capture large scale very well.
I saw this massive helicopter many years ago lifting a very large AC unit to a tall building here in Houston. My mouth just dropped. I'd never seen a helicopter so massive and I grew up around them. It literally slowed traffic on the highway with watchers. It was an Erickson Sky Crane helicopter:
The pictures I took and the ones on Google (the one I posted) just don't don't show how darn big it was in person.
