    I feel like we need an even heavier heavy lift helicopter to carry those two.

      I’m not sure, but maybe the Skycrane could do it?

      I haven’t looked at the lift specs in a long time, but it was specifically designed for large lifts.

        Unfortunately skycrane can carry 20k lbs but a Chinook weighs like 24k alone, according to wiki

          Wow, thanks for the effort.

          I’m kind of not surprised, the Chinook is a beast.

    I have carried two kid bicycles while riding my own bike before. This reminds me of that.

    I’m sorry, it’s called what?!

    Edit: apparently I need my eyes checked. I mistook “Chinook” for a racial slur.
