Challenges of Transporting Sensitive Equipment
Corlette
Well, what do you think?
[Discussing using a helicopter to transport the nitro]
Billy White
Well the main problem is the vibration. This thing is like a damn egg-beater, no matter how we shock mount something it'll still have a severe lateral vibration.
Corlette
I thought maybe you could swingload it on a pallet.
Billy White

Corlette
What are you saying Billy?
Billy White
Not with a chopper, there's no way.
Corlette
I'll double the amount if you can think of a way.
Billy White
It's not the money Mr. Corlette. No one's going to get into a chopper with that shit, you'd need a suicide jockey.
