The FHC is always on the move. With so many aircraft, they are always getting switched from place to place. One might wonder, how do we move the Huey? The heavy helicopter is on skids after all … Staffers attach a set of wheels to the skids near the helicopter’s center of gravity. With the wheels in place and jacked up (or jacked down) below the skids, a towbar is attached to loops in the forward part of the skids. With a tug in front and a little down pressure on the tail of the chopper, a couple of people can move it from place to place with relative ease.
