NSW RAFT Crews At Work
Just for those that are interested added another album of images from here on the NSW fires. Shot one of the RAFT BK117s extracting the crews and the EC145 doing some bucket work.

Thanks KiwiNedNZ 
Just on 22 years since I put the BK-117 on to the NSW fires in Khancoban, the first BK ever to do fire work. All these years later it is still the weapon of choice for the RFS, a testimony to machine
Needless to say there was a lot of 'learning on the job' in those days!

One of Ned's photos: AAS told me to 'cool it down a bit, John. I'll back in an hour'
