S-61 Fire King refueling[edit]

A Carson Helicopters S-61N Fire King being fueled during firefighting operations in Southern River, Western Australia

The image is a panorama of the fueling operations it offers an insight into how these craft are able to remain at the scene of a fire for extended periods along with the precautions that are necessary when fueling. Used in Aviation fuel#Safety precautions and Carson Helicopters could also be used in S-61N or Aerial firefighting which has an abundance of action images but no support service images.

    - Well this isnt a studio shot where all the elements can be controlled, nor is it a landscape where one can wait all day. Its a photograph of an real life event where all the compositional elements come together for a very limited time and are not repeated. Gnan garra 00:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks pretty good, I think it's worth a try. There's something funny in the sky, perhaps a blurry bird, about halfway across the image (just above where the rotor blades end) - probably worth cloning that out first. The blurred grass in front of the truck is also a little unfortunate, but you probably can't do much about that. Give it a shot. --jjron (talk) 10:40, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
