Amazing helicopter footage of water refill for Sesnon fire!!

This is at the porter ranch country club.
I watched these refill all day with the different helicopters flying in and flying out. I was such an amazing site. It was like some thing youd see out of a movie like War of the Worlds! These guys are truly amazing at what they do. It was such a challenge for him to hover with the winds blowing as hard as they were.

Did you see how arched the rotors were? Damn. Also, the chopper was way more steady than the camera... cmon, use the guard rail.

@jparksd Yep its an Erickson Skycrane as you say...they send Elvis out to Australia for our fire season...I think its based at Bankstown in Sydney when its here.

listen to those turbines, they sound like devilish things that want to eat the souls of my unborn children. Unlike Kimbo Slice who just wants to eat children...

[jparksd]

cant tell what color it is...if its orange it is an Erickson Air Crane...should have a name like "Elvis" or Camille" on the nose...Erickson company names all of their S-64's
