Pics of the usual fleet of Squirrel helitacs and the Air Intel chopper taken at the launch of the FESA air attack fleet last Friday.

Air Intellegence - 611







The Sikorsky 'Heavy Helitac' - 767 is in the background of this shot.

very nice indeed ! Great pics as usual

Here are a few I snapped off:

that top pic od yours accprop is pretty good!

I'm with 103 on that...top shot...and you had the picture I was looking for, the Carson doing a drop!

accprop - you must have seen me hard at work . You should have introduced yourself and said hello. I really wanted to get a pic like yours of the Helitacs in a row, but my real job keeps getting in the way . Great pics mate.

jesus did the wa govt buy all of these??

are they worth it??

I have an idea instead of the wapol buying 2 new copters, let them use the fire helicopters like 2 of them part time, and equip them with there camera stuff etc.. that way when theres a fire they can be used dual role.

No. They are all leased for a fixed term during the summer fire season from Helicopters Australia.

I did see you but you were hard at it. I will say hi next time!

I would have got more pics of 767 fill up from collar, and dump but my camera was full!!! Amateur! I only saw it all happen by chance; spotted them all doing laps around Kings Park prior to them landing.

nice pics... looked like an expensive PR display for the taxpayer
