Erickson AirCrane 'Ichabod' was Helitack 342 during the 2015/2016 fire season in Australia. Seen here returning from fighting a fire near its Ballarat Airport base.

Seen on its last week of operations in Australia before its contracted season is over. Bubba never fails to impress with its size and noise.

This Skycrane was temporarily based near Keith, Scotland, to position a bunch of electricity pylons.

Bubba is the only Erickson Air-Crane in Australia for fire season 2021/2022

Thirty years after the CN Tower opened to the public in downtown Toronto, Erickson Air-Crane brought S-64E, N189AE "Gypsy Lady" to Toronto to celebrate the role S-64E, N6962R, "Olga" played completing what became the World's tallest freestanding structure at 553.33 metres (1,815 ft 5in). Over 3.5 weeks in March-April 1975, N6962R made 44 lifts at the tower to build the antenna. in 2006, N189AE hovered over the CN Tower for 2 minutes and then landed at the base. It was the first new S-64E built after Erickson bought the S-64/CH-54 rights. It incorporates parts of ex-US Army CH-54A, msn 64-062.

A pristine Bell 214ST receiving some servicing. In an agreement with Bell, the type certificate for the 214ST (and Bell 214B / B1) are being transferred to Erickson Air Crane. Erickson bought this SuperTransport in October 2017 and refurbished it for a return to service.

An interesting display for Oshkosh. When it departed it demonstrated a water drop.

Demonstrating it's fire fighting capabilities. The water tank can be refilled by lowering the hose into a nearby water source.

The Super Transporter is bigger than the related Model 214B and has two engines instead of one. Here it is arriving from Aurora (KUAO) and its appearance here is related to company S-64 N172AC which came in yesterday.

This Skycrane has been working in central Vancouver Island for the past several weeks, likely on heli-logging. Here it has just arrived from Port Alberni (CBS8) and departed next day back to the U.S. (The buildings behind are in the town of Sidney which is adjacent to CYYJ.)

Ex 67-18415(N), N194AC, C-GFLH,

Built in 1989, first registered in Japan as JA9843, then to New Zealand as ZK-HKQ and then to N788CA before joining Erickson Air Crane Malaysia as 9M-LOG. Has been modfied to AS-350FX at some point, by replacing the original Turbomeca Arriel 1B engine with a Honeywell LTS-101 powerpant.

Originally CH-54A 68-18432 with the US Army, this Skycrane was acquired by Erickson Air - Crane and upgraded to a S-64E. It is quite busy with contracts for fire fighting, most recently centered in California.

The Skycrane helicopter is an impressive and unique beast.
