Editorializing?

A caption of one the photos accompanying this article states: "CH-37 Mojave attempting to lift a crashed Piasecki H-21" This would seem to imply that this lift was ultimately unsuccessful or, at least, that the outcome was in doubt. A more neutral caption might read: "CH-37 Mojave preparing to lift a crashed Piasecki H-21" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.44.11 (talk)

Agree, you can change the caption. MilborneOne (talk) 14:49, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Better infobox photo?

The current infobox photo ("current" in gallery below) of an Army CH-43 leaves something to be desired: although it's a color photo showing the helicopter in flight at a good angle, it's unfortunately fuzzy and low in resolution. We have another color in-flight photo ("alternative 1" in gallery) of a Marines HR2S-1 which has higher resolution, but some may consider it too dark, and it's still fuzzy. If we abandon color for now, there's another alternative ("alternative 2" in gallery) of a Marines HR2S-1 which is much sharper and of high resolution; apart from the issue of color, it's arguably a superior photo to the first two. Thoughts on which should be chosen?

current
alternative 1
alternative 2

To be honest, I think the current photo is fine as an infobox photo. The fuzziness isn't all that notable in a thumbnail, as its merits (simple background, good contrast, and color) make it the best of the alternatives. BilCat (talk) 22:27, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
