Thanks, It is alot of fun. The Chinook makes 7500 SHP with two engines. Actually the two engines can make over 10,000 SHP on a standard day at sea level, but that is limited by transmission torque limit of 7500. The extra power capability comes in handy at higher altitudes when the air is thinner and the engine power is less. I have lifted around 24,000 lbs but I didn't have much fuel on board. Normally full of gas it will lift 20,000 easy. Max gross is 50,000. The logging version is stipped down so they can lift more of a load. I think thier max gross may be higher also. If your interested I have some Chinook pictures on my web site.
