Photographer's remark
(5.12.2017, 22:53 CET)
Wildcat Helicopters arrived with an entire contingent of belly tank equipped 212EP and 412 helicopters to fight the raging wildfires this summer. Each 369 gallon tank fills in under 30 seconds via the electric pump in the snorkel which the pilot lowers when a refill is needed. They can fill from any water source at least 12 inches deep. Very good accuracy with these machines in dropping retardant, water, foam and gels. For some reason the pilot called the AME back to check under the hood during his engine start and warm up. Not sure what the problem was but after a few minutes of frantic activity the machine left for another days work. The crew in the background are completing their preflight on a Bell 412 which left a few minutes later.
