AW139 LAFD Helicopters In Action - Hansen Dam Brush Fire | AgustaWestland Leonardo

[@aviationwithjeff]

Those pilots and firefighters do such a great job under those dangerous conditions like a brush fire and high winds.

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Yes they sure do, thank you Jeff for watching & for your comment 👍😎

[@normansilver905]

In the hands of an experienced pilot the AW-139 is an excellent wild fire suppression resource. LAFD has done their home work and has it working for them.

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Ya these are some of the best pilot's and great helicopter, thank you for watching Norman 😎👍

[@jeromemervelet54]

Excellent catch. A dream a day to see this AW139👍👍

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

I see them a lot but I can't always get video of them, I hope you see one soon. Thank you for your comment & for watching 👍😎

Some of the best Heli's that L.A has !

[@EDKBVideo]

We only have Bambi Buckets in Germany, operated by the police and the army. Thanks for sharing.

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Thanks so much for watching, ya the good old Bambi Buckets anything is better than nothing.

[@JoseDuarte-u7z]

Hi @EDKBVideo, I work with Dart Aerospace manufacturing that tank, 326 System and others systems.

[@0524cami]

I'm still wondering why the city went with those chopper's instead of the more versatile sikorsky which by the county. It Carries a bigger load of water for fires.

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Ya I'm not sure, I love the Sikorsky's but as for me shooting video I like seeing the two different Helicopters, Thank you for watching & for your comment 👍😎

[@sergiourra6860]

Para Cuánto es la capacidad del helicóptero Cuántos litros de agua

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

it has a 480 gallon water tank attached to the bottom = 1,817.0 Liters, great question and thank you for watching 😎👍

[@Clem73]

This helicopter is probably what Disney used for blade ranger and who is he ? you ask .. he was one of the characters in the Disney movie Planes : Fire and Rescue.

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Yup, I think your right Greg, old Blade sure was tuff on Dusty when they first meet. Thank you for your comment & for watching 😎👍

[@dirkbogarde7796]

🚁 It would be better to see the helo AND the fire or at least the ground together. otherwise the action is without context. But the AW is very beautiful and cool to see in action. Why did they buy the AW and not the Blackhawk ? 🚁

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Hello Dirk, at this fire location the fire was not visible it was blocked by the trees as the fire was down in a lower part of a wash, otherwise you would have seen the fire so nothing I could do. Some big Shot's made the decision to purchase the AW over the Blackhawk, got promised a better deal and maintenance but from what I've been told that hasn't been the case and the LA County and other fire departments in California love the Blackhawks. Thank you for watching Dirk 😎👍

[@Clem73]

I think like Disney used this helicopter as one of the characters in Planes fire and rescue.

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

I think your right, thank you for watching Greg 😎👍

[@brookewilsonclemons7975]

It's Blade ranger from Disney's Planes fire and rescue 😉🚁

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Yahoo! pretty cool 😎👍🚁

[@jeffeadie8856]

Awesome

[@EdWhisenantAviation]
