    Default Skycrane?

    Saw a big Skycrane carrying a huge load over Detroit today. My thoughts were maybe a giant HVAC unit for the new jail?

    Anyone have any details?

    Didn't see it, but there was one doing work in Warren yesterday, at 8 Mile & Sherwood. I was in Charlotte, NC last weekend and there was one placing new signage on the [[now) Truist Building. Talked to the ground crew... turns out they were from Howell. They do work all over the country. They stopped in Indiana for a job on the way home before doing the Warren job.

    Found him. Looks like they were doing a job at Poletown.
