I bet nothing could top that loss of the day

Camcorder, Kneeboard with all the sectional and startup procedure notes and IFR approach plates,
cellphone, open end wrenches......
A&P left them in the cabin passenger side......
I am glad it wasn't empty beer bottles!

Muz:

I wasn't trying to win. I'd much prefer to lose if this is a contest.

...and it was the nosewheel assembly from the pivot down. The pivot gave up. I was notified by the tower that I'd left something important on the runway. I managed to land engine-out with only minor damage to the front gear leg. I held it up as long as I could and it scraped along a bit, then stuck and shoved me backward a foot or two. It was back in the air (rental plane) the next day.

I like the Grummand line. It is my second choice after the Bonanza. They are good little planes. The throttle is just like an elevator button and the flaps are pointless, but that's part of the charm.

As you recall something did top it.......

C'mon spill the beans!!!!

Had a hook fail & drop a 100.000 ton A/C from 50 feet.

100,000 ton?????? from a gyro?
skycrane can only lift about 20 tons.

It was a 110.000 ton A/C unit 6' x 4' x 12' weight 4,750 lbs dropped from 50 ft. by a Sikorsky S-58 F. just before it went over the roof. It's height went from 4' tall to 20 inches the contents flowing out like a root beer float.....unit cost $60.000.oo

A sky crane A will lift 19,000 lbs or the C will lift 21,000 lbs

I think Hillberg means 110 tons of AC capacity...
Or 120 million BTU's thermal capacity/hour.

I remember seeing the old Sikorsky's lifting AC units onto buildings now and then in what we call 'mid-town'... the ritsy ares just north of downtown.

Beast of a bird, however it certainly can lift. And has a marvelous rotor sound...

Yes that would make more sense.
