LACOFD flying along the coast
They were trying so hard to find me, but they just couldn't spot me. ;)
These are from the day of the last Armed Forces Parade. But it wasn't related.
Almost forgot about the El Monte PD R44.

Nice, love 350s. :)
Nice shots Glen.
Ok I will post a AS350 B2 from Los Angeles Police Department. This photo was taken at the beach, Venice beach to be exact.
I took this photos earlier today at SMO. They were landing on the South City Helipad.
Cool. I got N963SD and you got N971SD.
N972SD was at Wheels Wings & Rotors, any one?

Yup, east side of the airport. I count 10 pads. So maybe they have 10 active and two back ups?
A pic.
That could possibly be a field trip there... Might be worth trying to call them and see if we could arrange access for a few hours during operations... Something for the future. Similar to FenceCheck's Photocalls. We shall call them APSC Field Trips instead for obvious reasons.
Cool <rocker>
Yeah that sounds pretty cool Josh.

Any news on this Josh?
I was out in Joshua Tree this weekend and a 400 acre fire started over the ridgeline from my in laws.
I sat out there all afternoon sipping tea and watched the air attack execute with CDF and Fire helos, Neptune, Tracker and a Seat retardant droppers, and the OV-10 FAC. Airplanes flying right over the house and the ridgeline!!! ;D ;D ;D
A CDF Huey with a bucket underneath had to dive down toward the ridgeline and turn out as the Neptune was coming from his 12 o'clock on a retardant run through the smoke. Crazy stuff.
Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me. >:(
Watching from the begining of the fire until I left 3.5 hours later was VERY interesting. Those folks jumped on it real quick. Neat to see the air campaign evolve and shift strategies in the fight.
Here is some freelancer's photos:

Man, aint that the truth! I was up in Mammoth last year and actually had my camera with me with a long lens but opted to leave it back at the condo thinking that I wouldn't need it. Wouldn't you know it, I was sitting in the parking lot of Crowley lake and not one, not two, but three C-130's come racing (and I do mean racing) low across the lake in front of me with the sun perfectly positioned behind me. I'm left sitting there shaking my head.

NICE!!!! How do you get all of thses cool pic's?
A pic of old "Fire 4" during hoist training in 1996. This is a scan so the quality is as good as i could do, with a 4X6 print. At the time the helicopter was recently updated with 212 blades and tail rotor system. LAFD never did the 1800hp engine upgrade , and it wasn`t really needed within city limits.

Not sure if this should go under Police or Military. LA County Sheriffs Dept. motor cops test fit a couple bikes into a CH-47D from the Calif. National Guard. The test was during a disaster integration operation in 2007.....they both fit.

Hey Skip, awesome shots!
Hey, great job catching our newest bird (the EC-135)! Everyone in the system is a bit jealous of Air 5...first new bird in a long time, and first EC-135 in the Mercy system. Don't want to give up my 412, but some nice modern equipment is something to look forward to!
Alan, Air 14
Hi Skip,
The UT bird has now become N405LN and is the Victorville / Air 2 ship (except when we steal it b/c ours is down for something). We have N401MA, which is sorta historic, as it was Mercy's first aircraft.
The 902s are indeed long gone, and everyone rejoiced when they left. The were hard to work on, didn't have good high/hot performance and w/ MD's financial troubles, parts were nigh on impossible to get. Everyone loves the Deuces because they're fast, have plenty of power, and just a bit "manly" with those big fat blades. Jury's still out of the 135. The one that everyone's waiting for is the 429, to see if it lives up to the hype.
Alan
Very cool!, I saw the 429 at the HeliExpo in 2005 here in LA. I cant wait to see it flying here in LA.
Hi Gang!!! Hot Off The Press!! I cought this San Diego Cop Chopper turning laps around my neighborhood this morning around 8:30 AM.
After going through all 6 pages(so far) of this thread, do any of you guys in the LA area work?? Looks to me like you all just chase helicopters all day long.
At least the chopper in my pic came to me!!! <canon> <heli>

Nice catch!
Nice 222 shot! You and Skip are our helo guys for Med/Fire/Law.
Thanks! Really, though, 90% of a great shot is just being in the right place at the right time, the other 10% is remembering to pick up the camera. Here are a couple of examples from work in the last couple of weeks.

All I can say is... Niiiice! ;)
Doesn't N205VC usually have a water tank? I never noticed the extra tall skids either? Thats 8 and this is 7 so I mistaken.
Copter 7 is an Ex-US Army EX-1H Converted to a Super Huey about 1997. Its ONLY a Firefighter because of the rules of use with ex-Military Aircraft at the time. It will almost always have a tank installed
8 is a Civil 205-A-1 converted into a a very rare Factory 205B..... only three have been built. Its used for everything so will be seen without a tank .
New Copter 6 is a EX-USAF HH-1H SAR Huey now coverted into a Super Huey.....it is like Copter 7 a restricted bird. Is is also a firefighter.
Copter 9 is a CIVIL 212 that can be used for all missions.
Very good info Skip, good to have you with us. ;)

The EC-130 is the 3 place one right, with pilot in the middle or right seats?

Nice ones John, is that 2nd one the Farmer Market incident?
You have to maybe lower the resolution when you resize them. Maybe 950 x ?? and keep resolution at say 100 to 200. Or try that website that Skip recommended. Mine are 1024x683 at 200DPI
The second photo is from Farmers Market back in '03.
I brought them down to 640x480 and they still were too big. I'll work on it.

That's weird. Did you shoot that today? I just shot the tailing bird of two BH's flying over my in-laws house. It had 832 painted on the side. Yours is 831.
They were training at Lake Irvine this weekend......i shot it yesterday....did you also see the MARINE CH-46E ? I was going to go today but couldnt , to shoot them hover filling.
Their tank looks a little different than LA County's but essetially the same. I see the while flames. They also got new NG logos too and bigger ones too.

Shows as a tq split at above 85%. During a pwr check, #1 engine Nr bleeds off, all the indication were for either Nf governor or torque control unit, but they checked fine. Even had the Pratt rep scratching his head. Finally traced it late yesterday to an intermittent issue with the manual FCU. Shows that the m/m troubleshooting trees don't always include all possibilities, and you have to get creative sometimes to figure it out!

Haven't heard details of 407, but 408 actually had combat experience, and the bullet holes to show for it.
Yes , 407 was in Nam from 1968-72 and crashed at least once. It was with the 45th medical flight. Left Nam with 2500 hours.

Cool shot! ;)
So I guess that is an approved landing site. I asked on of the pilots the other day if they were taking the 139 to Heroes and they said no since they did not have intake filters (2-3 months, on order) and can only land at approved sites. You would think this pad gets dusty.

Coming back north from picking my niece up from LAX today (will post to the LAX thread in a few minutes), big fire broke out next to the Getty, backing up the 405, so while in such slow traffic, I grabbed the camera and started shooting. (My wife and niece weren't too certain of the wisdom of shooting while driving, but hey, California law only says I can't talk on a cell phone, right?? And it was only 5 mph!) Unfortunately, I had to shoot through a less-than-clean windshield, so apologies for the less than ideal photo quality. It was, as always, fascinating to watch the aerial ballet of the LA City Fire and LA County Fire choppers as they came in for their water drops.
I too drove and shoot (a camera, but some drivers wish it is something else) today Alan but coming from the north. A friend of mine Ralph Duenas made it to the Jr High off Mulholland before police kicked him out. This is where the helo were tanking and refueling. He got some great shots in the 10 mins he was there. Here are mine from the Southbound 405FWY.
two more. These were thru my side mirror. 2nd shot over too the far left middle you can see a helo going in for a drop.

Helitack 301 at the end of a hot, 110 degree afternoon:
Real Nice Skip! <thumbup>
I was driving by the Riverside County Sheriff's Air Division and saw Star 94 (Astar) taking off. Unfortunately... I had the stupid 18-55 lens on. The crew saw me lock my brakes up ;) and jump out with my camera so they did some stunts for me... so I used the dang lens anyway. They did a fast 360 degree pedal turn and then a quick, full power nose down departure. That was nice of em ;D
I switched over to my 70-300 and was hoping for a quick return, but no dice. I did wait in the windy 107 degree blast furnace for 40 minutes. I need a life. <laughing> Right as I was getting ready to leave, the crew of Star 96 (Jet Ranger) walked out and fired her up.
Star 96 is a OH-58A+, similar to a Jetranger , as im sure you know .....that helo must to be a dog today....and those pilots must be dying. Its get way to hot out there.

You're right, RSO's air unit was built on military surplus (except for the Eurocopters). They used to have six OH-1s.
Agreed about the performance. Luckily they only have two of those things. They're turds. <laughing> It was definitely a lackluster departure in contrast with the Astar. They both had very similar nose down attitudes as they left... but Star 94 rocketed forward... Star 96 kind of just started going.

Awesome shots! 8)
Thanks guys! It was luck that i was attempting to drive by VNY to see if I could shoot those Vegas helos thru fence and had my camera and I could see the smoke rising as I was coming down the 101 Fwy. Tried calling Skip but I fould it and parked on the northwest side or Woodley near Burbank and shot from there next to nature park. I could have walked the trail but thought it was safer from the street. They also had a bulldozer postioned on a trailer bit it never was unloaded. I think it would have ripped up the nature preserve just trying to get to where the fire was anyway.
Only one Vegas helo is at the Airport....and its inside right now. The other went home.
This one should go home next week , and i hear the 407 is dropping the pilots off.
They did not file any flight plans or at least they were not listed on Flightaware.com

Awesome shot! I love all the action in it. 8)
I couldn't sleep again (I've been doing night shift since 2002 and I still hate it) so I decided to go cruise by the airport with my camera. Cal Fire had nothing going on, so I passed by the Sheriffs Air Unit on my way back home. As I drove by, I saw a dozen people suited up and standing on the pad next to Star 92 and Star 94. Sweet!
Parked for a second and sure enough, the two birds took off and they were doing a training exercise for some LEOs on how to ingress and egress from a helicopter in a low hover. They continued to cycle back and forth between the two helicopters for about 15 minutes and then landed.

Yes most are Whiteman. A couple of the 18's are from Station 129 and the Foothill Fire ones are from a helispot in Santa Clarita.

Nice! Never knew that LAFD had a CH-47... :o
Great pic! ;)
Yes, they flew the borowed ARMY CH-47A from 1980-81 .....testing a SMS. This was a large fan driven rescue basket hung below the CH-47and used for building rescues and other rescue situations. The program was cancelled and the Helicopter returned to the Army.
Boeing tried and failed to interest the LAFD IN THE CIVIL CHINOOK MODEL 234 BUT FAILED , THE PRICE WAS TO HIGH.
Thanks to craig for getting the pics , back in the 80s.....and for posting here.
Let all start bugging AIM9XRAY......Craig , to post more pics. Hes got one of the more impressive photo collections.

Nice ones Mickey, so what does the new scheme look like or differ from this one?
Very subtle changes. Same yellow and black with the black extending over the entire tail, the registration is moved to the sliding door, the "County of Los Angeles Fire Department" titles are replaced with "L.A. County Fire" and the number is on the tail now. See below...

Two of the crew were at WWR yesterday and spoke with Bryce. Not sure if he meant they are flying to LGB or taking it apart at VNY and trucking to Long Beach Harbor, bit either way it will be shipped off to Austrailia for work down there.

I went over and got a shot, but they were working on it, with panels open. How long is it here for?
Some from the station fire of some of the helitankers.

One of Columbia's 107s coming back to Hemet-Ryan as night approaches.
Heard what I thought was Helitack 301 flying over my house this evening... saw what it was and recognized it from a blip in Vertical Magazine this past month, and of course the coverage of our LA area APSOCALers. ;D Went over and talked to the crew for a bit. Like everyone already knows, they're back from Australia and ready for the US fire season. However, the USFS has decided not to certify the Bell 214 for firefighting, so they're in the process of getting a contract through Cal Fire and are expecting to be based at the Hemet-Ryan Air Attack base if everything goes well.

So I wonder what USFS's issue is.....
Forest Service is picky with their aircraft. The Super Scoopers ( CL-415 ) are not certified to fight fire on USFS property despite the fact they're 20 + years younger than any of their tankers.

I'm wondering also if it has something to do with it being single engined. Because come to think of it, there aren't too many single engine helicopters contracted by USFS... I know Cal Fire has been running into some issues in recent years with their UH-1 fleet. I heard they've had a couple scares, and I actually witnessed one in person - luckily the crews are veterans and know what they're doing. They jettisoned the water about 100 feet from me and went for the low ground to set down.

Nice shot Keith, love the good old Sea King. 8) Interesting... I never noticed that bird had the same -DF FAA registration as Cal Fire. Worthless trivia. ;)
Doing some training before they suddenly disappeared this week. No idea where they went, but it seems they packed up and left.
2nd one is nice one Nate.
Skip any clue to its departure?

Nice picture......looks like they are refining the new paint scheme , not sure for the better.
CAL FIRE better get used to those Super Hueys , the AW-139s they were looking at arent coming anytime soon.
I agree Skip... I'm not a fan of the new scheme. The tankers are starting to get the new scheme also. I think the version for the tankers is really goofy looking, though I'm sure over time it MIGHT grow on me...
Great shot Glen. :) When/where was that taken?

You ever get dumped on by that dirty water the Skycranes like to suck up? Like getting a wet sandblast.
Nice shots Nate!
Thanks MD! 8) I've been having a blast, it's early in the season around here to have anything more than a half day fire. Day 3 is starting right now... all the Aircranes just went over my house heading back to the fire.
Got one of my favorite angles, perched atop a cliff face above the action. :)

No, thank God. And I never want to... The Phoschek was slimey but I'd take that anyday over Hepatitus water. <laughing> That sucks that you've had to experience it!
A shot from Day One when the sky was black with smoke and it was still raining lightning bolts from the sky. With the 3 fires RAGING and the lightning still striking all around us at a rapid rate, it looked just like the apocalypse. :o
I should also mention in this first shot it was driving rain, microburst out of the thunderstorm. Yet look at the flames, they're just laughing it off.
Also, a few of my usual night shots of some of the assigned helicopters. We've actually got 3 Aircranes and 6 Huey variants on this.

Thats not LA County is it or mutual aid?
Mutual aid.
I like the Tehachapi shot Bernie. :)
From Oak Glen last night:
From a small brush fire in Apple Valley along the Mojave River today, pretty boring shots due to generally being unprepared. This is my first proper shooting with my new 200-400 f/4 VR, LAX and motocross this weekend to put it through its paces. Incidentally, my first post here ;)
Shot at 1/125 @400mm (and F/14 :( ), and gusts to 15mph on that beastly lens. A daunting task to say the least....
Mercy Air evacuation of injured from the California 200 race.
Interesting shots......excellent regional response from multiple Air-medical units. The middle photo is a UH-72A from Ft Irwin AAAD Air Medical unit.
Did you happen to get Upland Fire/Reach EC-135 ?
This is this only other helo that I got a photo of.
Yes, amazing response and excellent coordination. One unit was always orbiting while one unit was on the ground.
From the Oak Incident yesterday uphere in Santa Clarita LACOFD Copter 15 and LACOFD leased Helitanker 743.

I take back
nearly everything I've said behind your back. <angel> Simply one of my favorite photos I've ever seen from you. Great framing, just goes to show you that you don't always need to crop tight.

I "think" that is an R44.. ???
*Update* I will confirm, that ship is an R44. ;)
Its is a 44 , from El Monte Police
They are tight , but at least the R-44 is smooth.
No, they need a REAL helicopter! ;)

By the way, guys, I was at VNY today and the Skycranes are back. One is at LAFD 114 and the other across the field, just south of the 94th Aero Squadron at an old FBO that has an L.A. Co Air Ops sign on it.
Killer shot Damon!
Thanks!

Depending on the hopper number, one of those may have supported the kenwood(?) fire in the cajon pass this afternoon. I'll look through my pics and see if the one supporting was a LA bird
HT-746 was out of Fox on the "Ken" Fire. Might have been one of your VNY ships depending on where they staged. :)
I've got Isabelle (Erickson 746) and HT 716 and 792 (helicopter transport services) Couple hueys - one with a Canadian reg and fire-attack style tank and another with a bambi bucket in addition to at least 2 S-2's and 2 Neptunes. Im guessing steep terrain and tons of fuel and a dropping sun in a high wind area come lead to a fierce air attack. Pics later tonight - gonna screen Camarillo pics for a while...
As promised...
I do have to add the Aircranes pick up water like a surgeon with a chainsaw; Isabelle literally danced all over the pond while taking 2000+ gal from less than 2 feet of water. Although the water they take on is twice the gross weight of the huey, hehe... Aircranes are awesome.
Great shots. 8) The Canadian ship is contracted with USFS BDF (San Bernardino NF) at Heaps Peak. H-534.

Your second sentence... I've apparently much to learn about CalFire and USFS operations.
No biggie :D BDF is just the agency code for San Bernardino NF, we listen out for the dispatches and the code.
Here are some of the important local codes where all the good action goes down:
BDF - USFS San Bernardino NF
ANF - USFS Angeles NF
CNF - USFS Cleveland NF
LPF - USFS Los Padres NF
RRU - Cal Fire Riverside Unit (Riverside Co SRA)
MVU - Cal Fire Monte Vista Unit (San Diego Co)
BDU - San Bernardino Co Fire
LAC - LA Co Fire
ORC - Orange Co Fire
KRN - Kern Co Fire
SBC - Santa Barbara Co Fire
Don't forget Big Yellow...
VNC - Ventura County
Good point Ken, I haven't been on a VNC fire yet. Guiberson was on a down day for me.
very cool, thanks for the info
