Aerial Crane at Shedd Aquarium - Sikorsky S-58JT [N4247V] Lifting Construction Materials [5.11.24]

Midwest Helicopter Airways brought out one of their Sikorsky S-58JT helicopters to the Shedd Aquarium early Saturday morning to lift some construction materials and machinery to the roof of the museum because rolling in a self-propelled crane would likely be much more expensive, time-consuming, and just overall inefficient.
It's always awesome to watch these guys at work in and around the Chicago area. Once I saw a Ford pickup truck with their logo on the door next to the Shedd Aquarium, I knew they were inbound and had to hang around.
Sure enough, just before 7 AM, I noticed they popped up on FlightRadar24 just North of Interstate I-55 - having departed from their base in Willowbrook, IL - and, within minutes, they were on-site and getting work done.
