Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe (N163AC)
At 7800' AMSL, Lone Pine, California, September 6, 2023.
Comments
To be more accurate, the designation for this aircraft is now the S-64F. Erickson owns the type certificate. Only the army called in the CH-54.
Nice photo Tom & use of high camera shudder speed.
Agree with Ken - this is one time that 'stopped propellers' (rotors) really add to the shot!
Excellent capture!

Yes, it is an Erickson, but there are Sikorsky CH54As flying on forestry contracts
I visited their facility in Medford, OR and watched one come in and land. The final landing sequence was a vertical decent from about 100'. It looked like an elevator going down. Awesome pilots.
Good ol' Air Crane...
