Ever wondered what a helicopter firefighting operation actually looks like up close?
A little BTS from last week in Oregon with @flyprecision , USFS rappel training, a formation flight back to McMinnville in two Airbus AS332 L1 Super Pumas, a tour of their MRO facility, and the Nomad and Cloudburst buckets put through their paces on an air-to-air close to base.

Numerous red flag warnings and lightning remains in the forecasts. The Precision team remains ready with our ISR UAS services for mapping and overall situational awareness for all our Public entities. Pictured here is the Airbus FlexRotor UAS that Precision adopted early in its development. Thank you @thehotshotwakeup for valuable current data.
What we do matters, but the true heroes are those risking their lives on the front lines of these dangerous fires! ๐ชพ๐ฅ๐๐จ๐ปโ๐
