Talk:Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane

S-64 civil split

I have split the information on the civil version of the S-64 from the CH-54 Tarhe page to the "Erickson S-64" page, which I then renamed S-64 Skycrane. The Erickson article was very skimpy in its coverage. I felt it would be better to cover the civil versions of the S-64 on one page than to have them split between two pages. I have also created the Erickson Air-Crane article to cover the company itself, tho at this point it is mostly a copy of the "Erickson S-64" page from before the merger. All 3 articles still need reworking and expansion, especially the company page. - BillCJ 19:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Good day, should your article wiki link be "Erickson Air-Crane" (no 's')? -Trashbag 22:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, thanks for catching that! - BillCJ 23:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Greece is using a number of S-64 skycrane. It must be something around 5 helicopters.

The last photograph (N720HT) has not been redesignated to the S-64 type/model. It still maintains the military designation, "CH-54B". As such, it is classified as "restricted" by the FAA and cannot carry any passengers other than crew essential for the mission.98.232.184.29 (talk) 00:07, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Production numbers?

How many have been built? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.232.94.33 (talk) 11:47, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Comparable Aircraft

Why is Sznycer Omega BS-12 listed as comparable? BS-12 was both much smaller, and didn't really enter production, according to the Wikipedia Article.Dbrukman (talk) 21:44, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

True it's a smaller aircraft, but it's design is similar to the skycrane Jetijonez (talk) 04:02, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
