Those external elevators are good for offloading, too. The Hancock once
offloaded an A4 and an F8 from its starboard elevator onto the Camden
while unrepping. Too bad the Camden was a supply ship. The aircraft landed
upside down on pallets of 250 pounders. No one was hurt, at least not          
physically.
