A Croman Corporation Sikorsky SH-3H Sea King hovering over the ramp in Madras, trying to land to get re-fueled and reloaded with water to go fight wildfires.

That Chairforce, Helislack life when on a California fire where at one point there were 48 other helicopters, and our base was socked in with smoke for majority of our stay.
But sometimes you just got to make due and make the best of it. That red helicopter used to be a Marine One in President Nixon’s fleet during his time in office, hence the Ode de Nixon. #helislack #helitack #blmhelitack #wildlandfirefighting #fireaviation #iamnotacrook #presidentnixon #marineone #sillerhelicopters #helimaxaviation #cromanhelicopters #cromancorp #mountainbladerunner #beckwourthcalifornia #reno #nervinoairport #calfire #sockedin
SWIPE!➡️ Here is a complication of the Helicopters working at Madras Municipal Airport. As follows:
Croman Sikorsky SH-3H (N613CK), 2 189th Oregon Army National Guard UH-60/MG-60 Blackhawks (15-20693, 14-20768), Bell 206L patrol helicopter (N516LE), and a Erickson Air Crane Sikorsky S-64F Skycrane (N163AC). Along with these, are some shots the Camp Sherman Fire, along with a fire near Mount Hood. Id like to take a moment to talk about how under appreciated these men/women are Spending every day for weeks in deadly smoke that’s harmful, flying low to fire zones, dealing with intense turbulence, and with being low to the fire, heat rising and they’re having to deal with a severe updraft, then losing it once they fly out, these pilots are under appreciated as they have an intense and stressful job, and aren’t recognized enough. To all the aerial firefighters, thank you, and we appreciate you!

Chasing Helicopters last night. #Morongo leased 4 helicopters to help out in the firefight ❤🔥 They were putting in work behind the reservation.

Some more pictures of our trip out to the Turkey Farm Road Fire yesterday.
Crosman Corp SH-3H which made multiple water drops on the fire while other air resources were inbound. They also did several water drops between retardent drops by other air resources. #mightymcphotography #southernutah #wildfire #cromancorp #helicopter #waterdrop
This helicopter was one of the first to arrive and help fight the wildfire on Buffalo Mountain a couple of years ago.
I remember seeing the flames take over the mountainside within a matter of ten minutes. Miraculously, no one was injured and no houses were destroyed. Keep swiping to see the Croman journey from Lake Dillon to Buffalo Mountain: 🚁🔥

I had an opportunity to photograph a helicopter logging operation in January of 2018 and couldn’t pass it up.
It’s unbelievable how fast paced this operation was, everyone had a very specific job and they did it efficiently to keep things moving.

6 months after our move up here I'm still finding boxes...some little treasures show up still.
I've ridden for a few brands the last couple decades. It's kept life interesting :) Some neat places out there...Air Marshall Islands, Royal Tongan Airlines..Airlines PNG and Asia Pacific Airlines. Bradley Air Services. The Quick and the Dead, Ursus and Inuvik Air Charter. In between there's been Pacific Island Seaplanes, WestJet...Croman Corp Heli on a 61. Tyax Air, Zoom Airlines on the 76 and Vancity Seaplanes. There's been palm trees and Pangnirtung Fjord, lead in barrels and the land of the midnight sun. Icebergs and islands, starshots and landings on the artic ice. Wheels, floats, skis, rotors and too many characters to name. If a guy could live a 150 years there'd be more :)) There's world to see out there 👍She's been a great ride and a 30 year tour around the planet. Nothing better than work with wings attached :) #royaltonganairlines #airmarshallislands #asiapacificairlines #tyaxair #cromancorp #beaveronfloats #tyaxadventures #bradleyairservice #firstair #ursusaviation #martinhartwell #floatplanes #skiplanes #astrocompass #northernflying #islandflying #dewline #canadianpilots

There are three Sea Kings operating out of KSZP. Santa Paula airport has been closed and is operating as a heli base since the start of the Thomas fire.
Having an airport available made the crew’s jobs easier and allowed them to reach the fire faster. We’ve lost so many small airports due to developers here in California and we’re scheduled to lose Santa Monica as well. Local airports are such an important staple of a community and hopefully the general public come to realize that.
