A giant "Skycrane" helicopter lifts a 5-ton section of ski-lodge, transporting it from trailer truck to mountainside foundation in a matter of minutes. It's one of the biggest air lifts of its kind. A 16-wheeler pulls into a parking lot with a big load. A helicopter hovers above it and lowers a hook down. The helicopter has had its passenger compartment removed to minimize its weight, but maximize its lift. Lifting the cargo, a long rectangular unit that looks like a mobile home, the helicopter carries it over a tree line.
