Amazing helicopter pilots running laps from Yosemite's Merced River, up to the Big Meadow Fire in Foresta. The town of El Portal was evacuated on August 28th... We'll keep swimming in the river until we can return home... and we'll try to keep our kids from being sucked up by the giant helicopter snorkel suction hoses!

  • awsome video that was a crazy fire i was on night shift for two weeks so i missed the air show

  • Ha thats great. I was in El Portal while you were filming this footage. I was providing structure protection for your community. I was on that fire for almost 7 days.

  • I was told that the pilot flying in the red and white helicopter flew the chopper in the movie and TV show Mash. The crew was stationed temp here in Bishop while in Yosemite.

  • Great footage!! Wish i was flying over there
