Check out our YouTube video all about Contour Helicopters and their new addition: a UH-60 Black Hawk converted into a Firehawk.   C-FHWK is equipped with a 4,500-litre Helitak tank that can deliver three to four times more water per drop than traditional bucket helicopters. And the night vision cockpit enables continued tanking operations into the night, when weather tends to be less active.   As wildfire activity in Canada continues to grow, there is a more apparent need for larger, more capable aircraft that can help fight these fires.   Watch the video now on our YouTube channel and stay tuned for the full story in the December/January issue of Vertical!   #Firehawk #AerialFirefighting #ContourHelicopters #WildfireSeason #VerticalMag

Today marks 40 years of partnership between the USCG and Airbus Helicopters. The first MH-65 Dolphin was delivered to the USCG on Nov. 14, 1984 at Airbus' Grand Praire Facility.  Since then the type has accumulated more than 1.8 million flight hours, saved more lives and interdicted more drugs than any other helicopter in history and is the first helicopter to land at the North Pole. 📹 @Lloyd H #USCG #CoastGuard #VerticalMag #Helicopter #Flying #fyp

We’ve compiled some of the most exciting clips from the dozens of helicopter shoots our talented contributors have done this year. It has been an amazing year where we’ve had opportunities to visit many unique operators from the different sectors across the rotorcraft industry. A huge thanks to all the operators, readers, viewers, contributors and advertisers who made all of this possible in 2024. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. See you in 2025! #verticalmag #helicopter #flying #pilot #aviation #aviationlovers #aviationdaily #fyp

The French Army Light Aviation (ALAT) is a force to be reckoned with! 🇫🇷   ALAT provides unmatched support to military operations with its fleet of highly capable helicopters.   Anthony Pecchi captured their NH-90 Caïman and Tiger helicopters flying through the French Pyrenees this past year as they celebrated 70 years of service.   #ALAT #NH90 #TigerHelicopter #MilitaryAviation #AviationPhotography #VerticalMag
