Hook up personnel


This is the best my guys could do on showing what it looks like through the hole. You can see a Marine on the load underneath the helicopter handing or hooking the load on the clevis. Keep in mind that the Chinook is only 10-15 feet off the ground. Also, the Chinook can generate up to 40,000 volts of static electricity so there are at least one other personnel on the ground with a grounding pole. This pole takes the static electricity from the helicopter and sends it to the ground instead of our troop’s bodies.
