Heres a couple 234 pics
The Black one is a 234LR previously owned by Trump Air and used for hauling gamblers to Atlantic City. Pic was taken during the Malibu Fire in California during November 1993 (after Columbia bought it from Trump). It was later repainted and converted into a 234UT .
The 234UT pic Twas taken during the Hopper fire in Ventura County Calif. during Sept. 1998.
This helicopter had two internal 500gallon tanks in the cargo area.
From what i hear Boeing doesnt support the
234s any longer but Columbia has them sorted out and flying reliably.
They are incredible lifters and sound like they are going to explode when doing a max lift.
During firefighting they lift 3000gallons
of water and 3000lb of fuel....dammed impressive !!
