facthunter Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It's something of an eyesight test, If you have done a few of these things it becomes easier. You are unconsciously looking for a black one. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadpete Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I spent yesterday planespotting. The downwash (air, not so much water) sends down any loose branches. 20240318_161847.mp4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 You must have been at the Lymington fire? Those 2 passed right over us heading down. Noisy buggers with those massive 2-bladed rotors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 And I thought you were ' watering ' your garden. LoL spacesailor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadpete Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The colour of the drop tells you how low all the local dams are. There were two big whirlybirds running all day. This is the second Lymington fire starting from one property in a couple of days. Police are investigating - fires don't usually ignite from a 50 metre straight line. I'm going out again tonight, hopefully we will be on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Pete, be thankful you've still got dam water! Our water supplies in the S.W. of W.A. are in a pretty desperate state, thanks to virtually no rain since Oct 2023 (2 light showers have been the grand total in 6 mths) - and when we had a substantial fire near Pearce airbase, the choppers picked up firefighting water from a sewerage plant holding pond! Whether it was done by accident or on purpose, no-one seems to know - but fortunately, the sewerage pond water wasn't dropped on buildings or people! https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/firefighting-water-bombers-drop-sewage-on-homes/wg46mijmr 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadpete Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 It's ok. I keep my mouth shut when the choppers are dropping 'water' anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
