The disabled chopper has been stripped down to a shell by military personnel working in the field off Lark Loop where it went down a week ago Wednesday.
Another large helicopter will be hooking onto the crippled aircraft with cables and towing it to town sometime after 8:30 a.m., this morning, according to neighbors who have been observing activity at the site.
