The photo shows helicopter 205RH inserting firefighters on the Bingham Complex on the Willamette National Forest in Oregon. The ship is operated by Hillsboro Aviation and is on contract for the Grants Pass Heli-rappellers. In the photo, pilot Joseph Berto is at the controls and the firefighters in the foreground are Mayfield, Johnson, Hastings, and England.

The Bingham Complex has burned 452 acres in and near the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness. The incident management team is calling it 55 percent controlled.

 
Thanks and a hat tip go out to Joseph.

One thought on “Helicopter 205RH on the Bingham Complex”

  1. Lots of activity today from the retardant base in La Grande Oregon to lightening strike fires in southern Baker and northern Malheur counties (Oregon). Been watching a steady stream of P2V and BAe146 tankers make the trip. Too high above my ranch in Baker County to catch any numbers on them but they have been busy.
