Pretty cool,Dave!
A number of years ago,we were building Amy's Kitchen expansion in Medford,right next to a Erickson's air crane landing/service pad. It was awesome to watch it and the crew tinker with it and fly it in and out during our lunch breaks.

Dave, WATCH OUT!! Stall, Stall, Stall!! Drop the collective and level out. I'm glad we have a lot less to do when driving our Corvairs.

============================================================
Yup! Gas Turbines / Jets are air cooled INTERNALLY....some of the compressor air is routed thru passages to keep thing from melting... internal temps reach 3,000f
Oil is air cooled in flight and most ground based units...

Yes, there's a cooler that looks to be about two foot square in area on the top deck to the right of the reservoirs and pumps. It's got its own fan.
Here's a short video in case anyone is curious. It's the same one that Dave visited.
All of Erickson's Sikorsky S-64's are named. This one is "Malcolm."
