Maui Chopper on TruTV

Just caught one episode on repeat and the part where they were using the bambi bucket was pretty intense. I especially like the use of the stationary camera in the cockpit. Watching the pilots flying and sticking their heads out
of the copter(no doors) to watch below and behind was wild. And scary also. One pilot mentions about doing that and having situational awareness so you dont fly into a tree or something. And though they dont usually fly at night this fire made it necessary for all three birds to work after sunset and at one point as all the pilots were working and talking to each other one pilot asks where a second was and he says "behind you" and after a brief pause the first says "No you're not you're in front of me". But all went well and the fire was doused.
I bet they liked the previous job better where they flew models to a secluded spot for a swimsuit photo shoot. :wink:
