I’ve always loved the Skycrane.
I rented one in 1998 to put four AC units on top of my factory.

However, we should really look at the Russian stuff for firefighting.
Much more lift capacity.

Only Russian copter with more lift, currently in civil use, would be the MI-26. Not many around, not certificated here, really overkill for most jobs.

Erickson, on the other hand, can build new Skycranes if the market is there for them.
