Columbia Helicopters Fire Fighting Helicopter – Pilot’s View

The camera is mounted on a pilot’s helmet, and has an audio link to the radio/intercom system on the helicopter. You will hear the pilots talking about lifting 4000 pounds of water from the lake, and hear a fire fighter on the ground compliment the pilot on the accuracy of his drop. The massive bucket is slung 200-feet below the helicopter. This was taken on the Hawkin Fire near Reno, Nevada on July 19, 2007.
