The only S-64F Air-Crane on contract this season is Helitack 342 N163AC or 'Bubba'. It will be based at Moorabbin for its contracted season.

Originally built for US Army with s/n 69-18473.

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.

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.

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.)
