Makes the bucket under the Chinook they have out here seem small doesn’t it after watching that :D
It would be good to see, might have missed the boat though unfortunately but Let’s see what this ‘rain bomb’ actually does. Is it operating under AP on the fire ground? Good to see.

The 234 bucket is circa 8000 liters vs 5000 ish liters for the Mil. In any case it's a welcomed asset to join the fire fighting effort.

Why does everyone always talk about the size of the bucket. The aircraft OGE hover weight vs the AC empty weight at 35 degrees and 1500 ft PA. Those numbers are what actually matter.

The most important thing is that the wet stuff actually goes in the fire. Not from 500 feet 1000 meters away!

Are Aeropower part of the Hevilift group or are they just cross hiring this machine?
