Fire-fighting helicopter
I was going through my photos and found these shots of a rather large helicopter at Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona during the first set of wildfires here this year. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time to catch him taking off. What a monster machine! I hope you enjoy the shots.

Re: Fire-fighting helicopter
Nice shots... I go out to Falcon Field all the time. I get Apaches and Blackhawks overhead my house daily! PM me sometime and we can go shoot out there together...
