Fire Fighting Rotorcraft or is it Mating Season? Taken at EA Love Airport July 17 2019 during the Cellar Fire. My last conversation with my father was about this and we were both joking it must be Mating Season....
Observation: Digital cameras on cell phones have damn high shutter speeds - rotor and propellers look like they are standing still.

hehe I think its 5HT. I see that Sikorsky out here a lot during fire season. Based like 50 yards from where I work. I do remember someone had a the bright idea of putting portajohns next to the flight line for the ground crews. Skycrane and a Chinook came in for landings and blew the shitters over, what a mess
Ah! I should be more observant. Still, every time I see those "Happy" big Sikorskys, I truly wish there was a model kit out there in 1/32nd scale of that type of cargo copter. Then again... It'd be like one of those "Do you have a shelf big enough for the model, or do you plan to rent a Hanger?" type kits. (Kinda like the Testors-Italeri C-130 kits from a few years back.)
Heh, you should see the Soviet made Soyuz capsule kit I have. Got it at the Soviet Space Exhibit that was in FT Worth Tx in 1991 - I think it is about a 1/20 scale. Never Assembled it, not sure where to put it. Got it the day the Soviet Union started to break up - I hit the gift shop before the rampaging horde hit it
