      These are photographs of the worlds largest helicopter which

       happened to be on  the tarmac in Dease Lake, B.C. this week.  It is to 
be used for

       taking mining  equipment and cargo out to a new mine called Galore

       Creek. It is owned by a  Russian company.  It is called the Utsky.  The

       chopper couldn't land at the air  strip at Bob Quinn Lake because it

       wasn't a paved area so it had to land in  Dease Lake until the landing

       site north of Bob Quinn could be inspected.

       Apparently this chopper's wash will pick up and fling rocks, up to 12

       inches in  diameter, around like leaves.

       Stats supposedly:

       Russian crew of 6, 2 Pilots, 1 Navigator, 2 Engineers (mechanics),

      1 cargo person  you can put 1 dump truck, 1 SUV in it  a semi-trailer 
will fit in it.

       carries 75 troops

       uses 2000 litres of fuel per hour

       580 km range

       costs $30,000/hr to rent

       40 metres long

       8 blades about 2 feet wide

       probably bigger than ANYTHING seen at the Dease Lake Airport,

       including the terminal building.

       WOW!!!!!
