That is a A7 Erickson Sky Crane and they make $20,000.00 a day and $6,000.00 a hour flying! It comsumes allmost 1200 gals of fuel a hour so a PW still get better MPGs!! It can haul up to 20,000 lbs Max under the belly. They go out for 2 1/2 hours at a time and come back in for re fueling. They keep a big tanker to fill it up next to the pad and another Tanker comes in to keep that one full. Mark H.
