The Elvis S-64 Skycrane is a heavy-lift helicopter that has been used in a variety of missions, from fighting wildfires to transporting heavy equipment and supplies. It was designed and built by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in the 1960s, and remains a popular choice for heavy-lift operations today.

One of the Skycrane's most notable features is its twin rotors, which allow it to lift heavy loads of up to 20,000 pounds with precision and stability. It also features a hydraulic lift system that allows it to lift and transport large objects, such as vehicles and machinery. The Skycrane can also be fitted to hold 2,650 gallons of water – which it can refill with its hydraulic snorkel system in 45 seconds!

The Skycrane has been used in a variety of high-profile operations, including firefighting efforts in California and Australia. It has also been used to transport heavy equipment and supplies to remote locations, such as oil rigs and mining sites.
