To quote our good friends at Kestrel Aviation
.
"A little like waking sleeping giants from their slumber, "Jerry", "Marty", "Delilah" and "Elsie", the Erickson S-64 Air Crane® helicopters, have now arrived into Australia after their long voyage from Greece aboard the BBC Chartering ship "BBC Leda".
They join "Georgia Peach" and "Gypsy Lady" who are already in-country.
The arrivals will be assembled on the port at Geelong, Victoria, prior to making their way to their operating bases in time for their contract starts during December in Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and Western Australia
A MAMMOTH amount of work and planning has gone into getting the aircraft here this COVID-19 impacted year, but the teams at Kestrel and Erickson Incorporated are getting the job done. Now to the job of fighting fires from the air and keeping Australian communities safe!"
And thanks to the team involved in the unload late last night/very early this morning!
