thanks.. yeah it reminds me of a grasshopper. unique, for sure. i assume it's used to carry something heavy below it.
i'd like to google some info on it, but i forgot to write down the model number. anyone know what this is?

That's a Sikorsky CH-54 Skycrane. The last one was made in 1972 or so. They can lift about 20,000 pounds and a few of them now lift big water tanks for firefighting. And that's gotta be the best shot I've ever seen of a Skycrane -- bravo.
