HELICOPTER!

So, the rotor noise was easily audible inside the shop today. A peek outside revealed the source: The Meijer under construction at 55th & Keystone was having its HVAC units emplaced... by a Sikorsky S-58T.

 Good thing I keep a real camera to hand. This wasn't really the job for a camera phone.

With a production run spanning the years between 1954 and 1970, the airframe was almost certainly older than your faithful correspondent.

Such a heavy load at the end of a long cable made for the occasional interesting gyration.

When it came in for a landing, rubberneckers on Keystone had themselves a bit of a fender bender...
