Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe —

Amazing. Firefighters, they are brave people. Look at the tower of flame. How high is it ? 50 meters. may be higher ??? Wooowww !!!

There are to fire tornadoes in this picture :)

Great picture. Nice to see something more than an aircraft in a shot.

Love my Aircranes. I was a structures engineer at Erickson and even got to ride a few times.

Great Shot, I'll bet it's a tad warm in that chopper.

Stunningly great shot.

WoW, good picture!

Thanks for the comments. The fire tornado was estimated to be about equal to a 10 story building, or about 100 feet. I was about 3/4 of a mile or so away from where it happened. Within a few minutes of this photo taken we, the onlookers/photographers, were order to get out of there for all obvious reasons. These helicopter were flying everywhere for a good couple weeks during the fire. Amazing pilots.

A spectacular Capture...........

God bless them firefighters.

A stunning and fearsome shot. The fire crews and the aircraft above show an amazing sense of determination in fighting these viscous wild land fires.

Crazy shot! Nice!
