A US Army CH-54 Skycrane prepares to lift a CH-46 from Hill 37, southwest of DaNang. This Sikorsky built, heavy lift helicopter is capable of lifting approximately 25,000 pounds. The CH-46 had landed in the LZ with mechanical problems. (Summer of 1968)

Either a "roadsweep" or a "patrol" heading toward Hill-65 or Hill-52. Part of "Charlie Ridge" in the background. 50 cal. "brass catch can" in the foreground.
