  1. Looks like belly hook job, alot of downwash. This would never happen for the USFS, they would send you back for an extra 50′. I have filed a lot of Klump tanks or pumpkins with a long line ( up to 250 feet) and bambi bucket. It is a very effective way to have gravity fed water to pea hose lines if the pumpkin is on a ridge line. But there is no one around the bucket to stabilize the drop when it is being inserted so takes a steady hand. Very fun work.

    1. Only been to B.C. once on a fire assignment but remember the B.C. Forest Service helitack talking about this technique
