[quote=Big Stick]Been around multiple '107's with 80,000++ hrs TT.
'53's are labor intensive and wouldn't pull a greasy string out of a Cat's ass.........................(grin)
Instead of talking in circles, I'll leave you with your statement. My reply to that statement is 11,500 on the hook for a CH46 as compared to 36K on the hook to a CH53E. Seeing you cite pulling greasy strings out of a Cat's ass. But I'll ask one last question how many pounds of fuel onboard when those 46's are pulling loads?
Noone flying for jingle,does so with a full tank...or even a roll of Electrical Tape as extry weight. It's straight up NASCAR.
Hint.................
It has nothing to do with straight up NASCAR, It has to do with necessity the 46 can't lift crap with full bags. There is no speed in a CH46 none, zero, zilch..............
