Following a break for lunch and a few moments to relax, the crew of this Billings Chinook took it back into the battle against the wildfire.

Good picture GAry! with a Strange livery for a Chinhook!

Why do they hook up the umbilical before landing? What is it supplying?
Jake Vander Werf
Matt, I do believe that is that cable that runs to the fire fighting water bucket...

We don't very often get to see these guys and gals @ work
Thank you

We had a chinook in Germany where the #1 engine sucked the axial compressor blades all the way back to the centrifical compressor and it continued to run but not well. Lycoming and chinook is a great combo.
