amazing machinery and superb capture.they must be dispensing foam as there is no place for water
Last year we had several of these sky cranes fighting fire on the National Forest where I work. I took the kids up one day to watch two of them taking water out of the lake and dropping it on a nearby fire. I hope you are not having forest fires again this year in Greece.
Neat photo (it looks like a mechanical dragonfly)
nice shot !
Excellent capture, well done...
Great capture. Never seen one of these! Water or Foam goes in the tank under the engine. It's sucked up from lakes or the sea. Well done again, Rob
