Helitac Pics @ Boya
Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2007 11:55 pm
Got an opportunity to film all four of the Helitacs whilst working on the Gooseberry Hill fire this arvo. They were using Boya Oval as their 'air base'. FESA said they would ask ABC for the vision for training and promotional stuff.
Took the chance to get some stills in the process. The air base manager, pilots and crews were really cool about letting me get up close and personal. Even got a photo in the cockpit of 669(Red).
Sorry about the quality/resolution of some of the pics as i only have an old 2mp 'happy snapper'.
The rest of the pictures i have URL linked below. Click on the links to see pics of the cockpit, support vehicles and the Helitacs 'filling up' from a 'collar tank'.
