But not with the precision!
Many years ago, I watched the Tx NG trying to put the statue back on top of the state capitol with one of their 47's, they tried and tried, but couldn't position it accurately enough to get it on the support. With great embarassment, they finally had a LA NG CH-54 come and put it back.
But, to be fair, the CH-54 was doing what it was designed for (rear-facing pilot position and all) while the CH-47 was not.
Cheers
