  • Helicopters land to refuel, Coulson Bombers 132 & 139 drop in the distance, and my first smokenado!
    Woodridge / Neergabby / Chitna Road Bushfire incident, as seen from 25 kilometres away at:
    Gingin Sports Centre - 4 February 2023
    0:00 - Coulson Bomber 132 lays a line. I didn't see this drop coming and I moved the camera...
    0:11 - McDermott Aviation Bell 214B-1 Helitack 672 N234PH & Helitack 676 N281JL landing to refuel
    0:32 - Smoke plume interacting with cloud layer
    0:38 - McDermott Aviation Helicopter Logistics Firebird 620 AS350 VH-EGU
    0:57 - McDermott Aviation Bell 214B-1 Helitak 671 N1073W landing
    1:12 - McDermott Aviation Firebird 662 Eurocopter AS355 N97MD taking off
    1:35 - Coulson Aviation Bomber 139 - Boeing 737-3H4 - N619SW "Phoenix" dropping retardant
    1:48 - Angry smoke plume billowing upward
    2:03 - Birddog 125 Gulfstream 695A VH-LMC & Bomber 132 Lockheed C-130H Hercules N132CG
    2:56 - Birddog 123 Cessna Citation VH-RMB & Bomber 139 Boeing 737 N619SW. Two days later the crew on this 737 miraculously survived a crash while bombing a bushfire in the Fitzgerald River National Park. The aircraft, N619SW, was destroyed in the resulting jet fuel fire.
    3:23 - Smoke whirl, smoke devil, or smokenado, whatever you call this phenomenon, it reached much higher and lasted much longer than I expected! A funnel was visible from approximately 5:15 to 5:40PM, about 25 minutes.
    4:12 - McDermott Aviation Bell 214B-1 Helitac 673 N214LJ taking off
    4:30 - McDermott Aviation Bell 214B-1 Helitack 672 N234PH & Helitack 676 N281JL landing to refuel
    4:56 - Setting sun filtered through the smoke plume.

    Thekiwi, I was viewing this on flight radar, Would've come if i knew about the sports centre place, how'd you find out if you dont mind me asking?

      There are a number of locations where air support can refuel during a longer incident, to save them flying back to Jandakot or wherever they're from. Sometimes you can work it out from the patchy radar tracks, but the aviation buffs listen in to the radio scanner, and know where all the refuelling sites are. I'm somewhere in the middle, this time someone told me they were using Gingin that day and I'd been there before during the Red Gully bushfire. Many of the usual refuelling sites feature in my previous videos, Landsdale, Chidlow, Coolamon, Medina, and most recently, Lark Hill...
