CH-47 can carry pretty good loads, too, up to 12 tonsThat's very impressive, but the CH-53E can lift an external load of 33,320 lbs - 16.6 tons - and strip away your shingles and your hearing at the same time. Between friendly helos and hostile artillery, this old infantryman is almost deaf as a door nail!

nice.....
p.s. I now find that the latest version, the CH47F, can lift 14 tons external load.... still not as much as the latest CH53, but not too shabby, either.
