Sikorsky CH-53K Completes Critical Flight Envelope Expansion with 36,000-pound External Lift

Impressive.  Yeah this helicopter costs a metric ASS TON of money.  Yeah I believe that despite this impressive feat we won't be able to afford as many as we would like and it would make sense to buy a MORE AFFORDABLE helicopter for less demanding heavy lift roles.

But I have to call balls and strikes.  This is impressive.
