Four fire fighting helicopters refilling their buckets in a row. Cape Town, South Africa

[@codered9576]

So amazing, much respect to these pilots for their skills to help with the forest fires.

[@sapiensays]

Recommended this from youtube, after i was trying to search for how to water my garden.

[@coolbeans7349]

i can confirm this will water your garden

[@panzerwolf494]

Just watching them stack up like that was amazing

[@pie.lot.bliksem]

1:59: A very observant pilot indeed

[@xrptonaire]

The huey is a beast of a sound

[@tima8690]

World class city!

[@letsgobrandon8661]

Those pilots have balls!

[@jimclaytor9834]

Amazing catch 👏 👍🔥

[@martineast1787]

Those pilots are bad ass.

[@jds3185]

at 2:00 the pilot had a mini heart attack lol

[@maelstrombaradas2627]

all helicopter get buket 1:eurocopter as332 2:bell 212 3:bell uh 1

[@erikhansen5172]

The red one is not a 212. It's a 205 (UH-1). Tail Rotor is on the left hand side of the Aircraft. 212 has the rotor on the right hand side like the 412.

[@mhaurhyi]

The 1st one is an Oryx Chopper based at Air Force Base Ysterplaat, near Cape Town.

Hey Jonathan Endersby, your video is perfect for my audience! Is it okay if I feature a short segment on my channel? Thanks!

[@arbitraryuser]

No

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

I hope that somebody had the brains to capture that black plastic bag. If that got ingested by an aircraft or became wrapped around a tail rotor, it could be catastrophic.

The power of the Huey

[@Mercy1-]

I remember this name from playing gunship battle😂

[@DIZAZZO]

Huey Lewis and the news?

[@nargalda773]

that last one was totally ex military pilot, close range suport

[@swesleyc7]

Why is that?

[@nargalda773]

@@swesleyc7 he fly low, hit directly the edge of the pond, and did not move when fill the tank, that skill you learn only by two way, hard trainig or using that kind of fly style under battle condition, like they do in Vietnam

[@TyNovakAviation]

That is awesome!

[@gradualdecay1040]

My dad went to practise scuba diving in that pond, not seen him since?

[@hollygolightly649]

🤣🤣

[@coryblondeau7434]

Lmfao that's halerious

[@vanzylbooysen4826]

Dit is cool

[@drahunter213]

It actually looks like this was their 4th run or something because you can see the water level from the walls and rocks

[@craigcooknf]

Helicopters or planes, they always seem to fight fires in groups of four

[@WW-wf8tu]

There are a lot of variables involved to the # being used. I watched a guy(1 only) in CA fighting a brush fire using a nearby pool as his source. Was about a 2 minute process from drop, reload to drop again. Would have been more cumbersome to have more than 1 chopper in that scenario. What ever was going on in this scenario, can only assume there were only 4, could have been another 7 using another source to load up at. Those buckets we see here are only about 150 gallons. Goes by pretty fast.

[@carolinesoles4848]

Very cool!! The public should go grab that plastic bag and look for other Foreign Object Debris (FOD) in between fillings. That one pilot that came close to the edge of the pond and blew up that garbage bag must have cut out a piece of the seat with his butt cheeks when that blew up!!

[@synceware1453]

It shouldn't hurt to do that even without helicopters around...

[@dustyflair]

Are those some of the type choppers we used in NAM?

[@OSUfan757]

I know for a fact the last 3 are. May be some type of updated computers and refurbished engine, but same extremely reliable design!

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

Yes. The red and the yellow aircraft are the Bell 205, the civilian counterpart to the UH-1 ‘Huey’ that typifies the Vietnam conflict.

[@sudhanshu1507]

After watching in 0.25x and doing the math, I can say the last helicopter rotor was spinning at 720 rpm

[@paulscott6605]

At 720 rpm the rotor blades would fail. Check your math.

[@erikhansen5172]

Incorrect. The Bell 205 / UH-1 (Red and yellow ones) has a Rotor RPM of about 300. The Super Puma in the begining has something similar.

[@rickmortyson4861]

The camera man should have picked up the bag

[@arbitraryuser]

Was filming through a fence.
