Sikorsky Erickson S-64F AirCrane firefighting helicopter, N163AC 'Bubba', is dispatched in response to an emergency call of rural fire west of Melbourne and northwest of Geelong, Australia. This video covers the whole process including preflight, start up, taxi and takeoff.
This helicopter is on lease and stationed at Moorabbin Airport (MBW/YMMB) near Melbourne for southern hemisphere fire season.
"The Aircrane can be fitted with a 2,650 US gal (10,000 L) fixed retardant tank to assist in the control of bush fires. The helicopter is capable of refilling its entire tank of water in 45 seconds from a water slide 18 in (46 cm) thick." -- from Wikipedia

Erickson helicopters saved my house from a fire in northern California …. they are some of the best helitac guys in the business! Thanks again guys!👍👍👍👍👍🙂🏖

@DrBearAviation 7 месяцев назад

It is nice to hear from someone actually saved by this giant machine and crew efforts.

@penelopelgoss2520 7 месяцев назад

Yes, they worked the Station Fire in northern LA county. The flames came w/i a few thousand feet of our house. We were saved. Then the flooding came a number of weeks later. Those who didn't burn, many were flooded and/or washed away by all the bare soil. 😢

Used to live near Kirkland AFB in Albuquerque. Hated when they always had those choppers that made that "chopping" sound-apparently just sitting on ground and idling. Heard it every damn day practically. Was about 2 miles from airfield. Drives you nuts.

Thanks for watching mate. In fact, this specific helicopter (N163AC) was deployed to Greece in the past and worked hard in fighting factory fire and wildfire.

Excellent video...but not a "scramble."

@DrBearAviation 7 месяцев назад

Thanks mate for watching. In fact, these guys got the call for immediate takeoff for the wildfire to the northwest of Melbourne. I believe this qualifies for "scramble". 😀 The other day I was chatting with a Black Hawk firefighting helicopter pilot, and he told me that they need to get airborne within 15 minutes of receiving the call.

A scramble is done quickly, not taking 2 days to get off the ground.

@firefightingandwildland5243 Месяц назад

This is actually a relatively fast scramble for a type 1 helicopter iv worked on helitack bases before and there's alot more that goes into the checks than you think.

@Trooper6190 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video! It’s so clear and the sound is just great! I think I answered my own question in my head but does the Erickson have a starting turbine? I started thinking about the load when the clutch is engaged turning those massive rotors but I’m not sure how the mechanics of these work. (I know I could look it up easy but I figured why not ask and get a discussion going 😆).
