Erikson Air Crane is from my neighbor city of Portland, OR. I have seen many of these used to fight California wildfires over the years. I had no idea they operate in Australia until seeing this video. The helicopter has an interesting history. The design is so old, the original manufacture Sikorsky, stopped all investment in the helicopter years ago and sold all interests to Erickson. Erickson has since redesigned and overhauled the remaining helicopters into top notch shape, or build new helicopters, and marketed them as niche helicopters to put out fires and lift heavy objects when no other less expensive means is possible. One of these crashed, and perhaps this one, earlier this year in Australia, and nobody died. Erickson's safety record is generally superb.
They've been coming to Australia for about twenty years now....i remember the first season they were here there were three based in different areas...."Elvis" "Georgia Peach" and "Hulk".
Erickson HQ may be in the land of antifa but it’s really a Central Point Oregon (Medford) company. Unfortunately it likely won’t be around much longer due to incompetent HQ decisions.
Imaginem esse helicóptero com a potência que ele tem carregar um tanque de água e com um super canhão,poderia apagar qualquer incêndio no mundo todo sem problema!!!!acorda humanidade e vamos a luta!!!!!!!!!
I can see the joy in the heart of that people when that helicopter comes back each time. I love helicopters. Thanks for capturing and uploading this wonderful moment.
