Crane Removes Helicopter from 12th Floor Helipad
A University of Florida Health ShandsCair Life Flight Bell 407GX helicopter was lifted by crane from the UAB Hospital Helipad in Birmingham, Alabama and transported by truck to a ShandsCair maintenance facility for evaluation and repair after an engine warning light prompted its grounding.

nice pick by crane operator and rigging crew
How ironic, a Medical transport that requires a "Medical Transport".
Not exactly what you see every day! It must be a serious problem that they cannot eve ferry... Removing the Rotor Blades and bring it down by Crane... Kind of makes me wonder if he shelled and engine! That is the only reason that I can see they would be doing that... as they said an Engine Performance light has nothing to do with the Drive Train! ( Maintenance Prospective )
Had that happen to me & a group of others in the Canal Zone in Panama (back in the day) one time on a UH-60 Blackhawk. Was going out to watch Navy personnel perform some security work when one of those lights you should really pay close attention to came on. We landed next to the canal, and after an hour or so, and after the pilots ran the engine for a while; we had a very quick flight back to Howard AFB.
going to attempt to repost some photos. Was fun to watch.
I thought they had perfected rotorless flight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr3ngmRuGUc
