The AgustaWestland AW139 is a 15-seat medium-sized twin-engined
From Wikipedia
The AgustaWestland AW139 is a 15-seat medium-sized twin-engined helicopter developed and built by AgustaWestland, now called Leonardo. It is marketed at several different roles, including VIP/corporate transport, offshore transport, fire fighting, law enforcement, search and rescue, emergency medical service, disaster relief, and maritime patrol.[3] In addition to AgustaWestland's manufacturing facilities in Italy and the United States, the AW139 is produced in Russia by HeliVert, a joint venture between AgustaWestland and Russian Helicopters.
The AW139 was originally designed and developed jointly by Agusta and Bell Helicopters and marketed as the Agusta-Bell AB139, being redesignated AW139 when Bell withdrew from the project. Since entering service in 2003, the AW139 has become one of AgustaWestland's most influential products; it has been subsequently developed into two enlarged medium-lift helicopters, the military-orientated AW149 and the AW189 for the civil market.

In the hands of an experienced pilot the AW-139 is an excellent wild fire suppression resource. LAFD has done their home work and has it working for them.

I'm still wondering why the city went with those chopper's instead of the more versatile sikorsky which by the county. It Carries a bigger load of water for fires.

🚁 It would be better to see the helo AND the fire or at least the ground together. otherwise the action is without context. But the AW is very beautiful and cool to see in action. Why did they buy the AW and not the Blackhawk ? 🚁
@EdWhisenantAviation
@EdWhisenantAviation 2 жыл бұрын
Hello Dirk, at this fire location the fire was not visible it was blocked by the trees as the fire was down in a lower part of a wash, otherwise you would have seen the fire so nothing I could do. Some big Shot's made the decision to purchase the AW over the Blackhawk, got promised a better deal and maintenance but from what I've been told that hasn't been the case and the LA County and other fire departments in California love the Blackhawks. Thank you for watching Dirk 😎👍
