'Firebird 305' back for yet another year of bushfire work based at Bendigo. It had been pretty quiet when I took this photo, but on Saturday 7 February the worst bushfires in Victoria's history broke out in, south and south-east of Bendigo. More than 180 people perished in 24 hours of fire-storms. Undoubtedly Firebird 305 was in the thick of the action. This 1973 JetRanger was originally N59507 then A6-ALF before being registered VH-JVH(2) on 10 December 1999.

'Helitak 334' or 'Little Elvis' (a reference to the Skycrane 'Elvis' - N179AC - that has been in Victoria for the last few summers), off on a local 'blow out the cobwebs' flight. This helo was built in 1991 and registered in Japan as JA6660. Imported to Australia in 1999, it was registered on 1 June that year. Under the belly is a tank for 1200 litres of water and 60 litres of foaming agent.
