Thumbs up

I was just about to start a thread in regards to aussie bush fires as I have been (trying to)following it form the tv news broadcasts but I had not realised there are that many heli operating out there at the moment. I did see the Erikson aircrane a couple of times and the odd jet ranger and bk 117 but that was it.

But as we are on the subject of bushfires, how do you train to become a heli fire fighter???

I would like to see some serious input on this subject from experienced pilots or info on how to get trained for this.

Keep up the good work and fly safe.
