ID:	139111this is how they get fuel and other goods into the mine when the ice road fails. the hercules was used to haul fuel from yellowknife to the mine site, 23000liters at a time. the chopper is an ex russian military built in the cold war it was designed to haul nukes around. it the largest long range heavy lift chopper in the world. the used it to bring in the rh200 seen in the pics above, they have to cut apart the brand new shovel into manageable pieces to fly it into site
