I wonder, if that had caught on if LAX would have been able to handle all the helicopter traffic it would have brought, whether the would have needed a larger model for the actual LAX flights. My theory was that initially the skycrane would have been fine for that segment but too large for the initial runs to the central collection point. It is nice to see the present huge success the use on Union Station has been.
