Not the full story though. If the pallet was on its side, as many were, one of us [usually me as I had rigging skills and a private pilot] stood with the pallet whilst the chopper came overhead.
Then in conjunction with the chopper loader looking out the side door, latched the strop onto the helo hook. Then guided it as it was lifted. Quite an experience that would not be allowed today!!
