The first flight of the Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane was on this day, May 9, 1962. The U.S. Army ordered it as the CH-54 Tarhe. With a lifting capacity of about 20,000 lbs it is shown here with aircraft, military vehicles, bridges, a space capsule, towers, construction materials, artillery, a house, and water for aerial firefighting. What doesn’t it lift? #pimaairandspacemuseum. . . . #museum #tucson #arizona #aviation #aviationhistory #history #sikorsky #skycrane #helicopter #onthisday #otd | Pima Ai
