Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane Firefighting Variant

[justsendit]

Currently, there’s a wildfire blazing about seventeen miles to my West: Spring Creek Wildland Fire Southwest of Parachute, CO. Looks like they’re using a Sikorsky S-64 Firefighting Skycrane to slurry the fire — most likely deployed out of Walker Field, CO.

Spring Creek Fire at 2,577 acres

With the recent news of ICM’s 1/35 Sikorsky CH-54A Tarhe w/ M-121 “Daisy Cutter” bomb, it made me wonder if ICM is considering the fire fighting variant with water tank and filling hose as well.

Hope they get it under control and stay save

I am sure they are depending on sales.

I hope they do. It is a sharp-looking helo.
