We do a lot of important missions over here but delivering the mail to some of the near by posts to me can be one of the most important. The Chinook with it internal carrying capability can carry 16 of these bad boys, we’ve seen one as heavy as 600 pounds. When our aircraft land we go to spots for cargo pick up and have fork lifts bring them out one by one. Our crewmembers from there slide and move these tri walls throughout the aircraft so that we can also carry passengers. Throughout the day we could be flying to 8 different LZ’s (Landing Zones) so you can imagine the problem if a crewmember makes a mistake and puts a Tri Wall in the wrong location in the aircraft.
