@Big Shasta , wow, that thing is huge. Have you ever been in it when they refuel mid flight? I assume that's a refueling arm/probe on the front end.

It is a refueling probe but I haven't ever flown when they were doing refuels. To help put the size in perspective, it can carry 16tons of payload and holds more fuel than an H-60 Blackhawk helicopter weighs fully fueled. 3 engines 5000 horsepower each. It is also the navy's heavy lift helicopter. They get called out for humanitarian relief a lot.

@Ronnie This is a marine CH53 but NOT what you want to see while refueling.

I work for automotive company that produces window and door seals for vehicles mainly General Motors. Our largest platform is the door seals for the GMC Sierra and Sliverado. I spent 12 years in the actual extrusion department where we produced the seals from scratch and that is where I met my wonderful engineer husband @jcyamaharider ! Now I am going on 4 years in the office ordering all raw materials and planning the plants production.
