Yes folks! That’s a Blackhawk converted for fire fighting in Canada!
While I was there looking at the machine, they got a call to go,,,,, so here one of the pilots (Zack) was heading out to get things fired up!
Spotted at the Nanaimo, BC, hangar for Heliqwest Helicopters! I missed my chance at some better photos because I was bullshitting with the engineers. Sorry!
That’s the “Bambi Bucket” for doing water drops on fires.
Heliqwest even has some nice work trucks, nicer than the ones I got to use when I was in the business with CHC, here in Canada.
Now, let’s see that UH-60 again!
Fly safe everyone!
