Meteorite

[RickIowa2009]

Here is a photo of a meteroite we helped move out of the desert in California, Old Woman Mountains, we used a helicopter with a 110 foot sling, and a cargo net. It took our group of Marines most of the day to get a cargo net under it. I was the lucky one, I directed the helicopter when it landed with the meterorite.
This was around 1977 if my memory serves me right. Can be found under google images (Old woman mountains meterorite).
