We have a fire burning in the Panguitch Lake area. On Sat. My wife and I headed over to Bryce for some hiking, on the way back we saw this helicopter re-fueling at Bryce Airport and figured he must be taking water from Panguitch Lake. We headed up to the lake and on approach saw the helicopter flying to the lake, so we went up and got set for some pictures, heres a few I took.
Sorry about the reverse order, I was halfway through loading them when I remembered that they come up in reverse. :ne_nau:

I just assumed it flew away backwards... :haha:

Very cool pics! My son and I were at a very small local airshow about 3 weeks ago, and they had a SkyCrane set up with the same type of tank for fire suppression. Cool to see it in use.

Thanks!
