Commemorating 25 Years

As the first company to utilize tanked helicopters for firefighting, the S-64 helicopter is the world’s most established Type-1 high-volume helicopter. Over the last 25 years of service in Australia, Erickson’s ingenuity has resulted in several substantial improvements to the S-64 Air Crane^® helicopter, including:

	Composite Main Rotor Blades (CMRB) allow enhanced performance at hot and high-density altitudes which is imperative during conditions that persist throughout the fire season.
