Thats because of the white balance.
It's a bit hard to get it right under orange lights, with an orange fuselage.
Not sure if I captured it in raw or not.
Might try to re-edit it one day.

The media have not "dubbed" 767 the 'Fire King'. This name was used by FESA last season and has been in many posts on WARSUG. In fact the helicopter's owners, Carson Helicopters, have named it the 'Fire King'.

It is called the "fire king" not by the media, but because it is essentially the same basic airframe as the sikorsky "Sea King" naval helicopter.
