Fighting Wildfires in Canada with the Firehawk Helicopter

[@Stubby0266]

Neat to see that tank systems have come a long way since 96-15728, which I had the pleasure to get qualified and crew from time to time.

beautiful, as always!!!

When a private company can afford UH60's but the Canadian military can't.

[@blueman5924]

I think Bradley Freisen put this together.👍

[@dakota3847]

We can, we just don’t want them.

@@dakota3847 ​ Not with this government. CAF officials constantly express the need to replace our vietnam era helis, which by the way are the only mode of army rotary transport behind a few chinooks. They're great and all, but their extended life "reliability" isn't why we won't replace them lol.

I guess firefighting helicopters in Canada are not required to be bright colored?

[@blueman5924]

Private sub contractor. #Hawkforhire 👍

@@blueman5924 Here in the U.S. all fire fighting helicopters have to be bright or light colored.

The only FIREHAWK, whose name is Trade Marked by Lockheed Martin / Sikorsky is with the fixed belly tank with retractable snorkel.

Sadly, it don't paid to put out a wildfire on the first day. That is why they are always out of control.

Metro Vancouver should have been able to field a fleet of these like Los Angeles County but unlike Los Angeles County we have no leadership and continuous cost overruns 😢

[@chrisburke624]

Los Angeles County is a total f**king disaster...I wouldn't use then as an example to follow in ANY metric They have the same 'far left' political issues that BC does, including cost overruns for almost everything What I don't get is how Vancouver can't afford a police helicopter, while cities like Edmonton & Calgary have mutiple? Even Saskatoon has one for crying out loud
