Fire Fighting helo down - Portugal?
Hi My Friends...Please accept my apologies if this is not the proper Board Division to post this Thread, but however i'm not doing it in bad purpose...
It may sounds weird, strange or bizarre, but on this last very Weekend, when we had severe gails and TS's across all Europe, strong winds, heavy snow and some freezy cold waves, here in Portugal, not so far away from UK, Holland or Germany, we spent the entire same Weekend fighting violent forest fires, due to a mighty hot wave, as if we were on a typical week of July...
Almost all of our Fire Fighting Aviation was flying again as if it was a hot summer day...But Unfortunately we had a Tragic Accident causing the loss and death of its Pilot...
Its was an AS-350B-3 Ecureuil, belonging to the new created Heli-Company EMA.
...and so near to the North and East other People are Giving their Lifes on Duty to save lives on Raging Seas and Waters...
