Helimax’s N949CH at Sierra Vista, Arizona. Photo by Jerry Messinger.Jerry Messinger sent us this photo of N949CH, one of HeliMax’s CH-47’s at Sierra Vista, Arizona. He said it is on an exclusive use contract and has already flown about 75 hours on fires in the Southwest this spring. It is very dry there, he said.
Those large rotor blades can provide a little shade on a hot day.
