No, Slicks were Hueys, this is a Chinook LOL.
As incredible as it looks, I saw tis several times in Viet Nam. Once, we even changed the skids and crossbars on a Huey while the pilot hovered a few feet above us on the flight line. Scarey!
We have some of the best pilots in the world and they train like you wouldn't believe. They manage feats with the helicopters many think impossible.

Especially that pile of rocks. I seem to recall one of the last loads out of the Embassy in Saigon was with a big helio and they had to just put a little of the weight down or they would have gone through the roof.
