Title: Northern Alberta Airshow

Well not really, but it felt like it sometimes.  I just came back from working a forest fire and I realized how many interesting aircraft we get here.  I got to see a Kamov dual rotor helicopter working on one of our fires.  It is always more fun to sit in a helicopter when watching other helicopters.

Our local aircraft company also has a MI-26 helicopter leased for a year.  It is capable of carrying 80-100 passengers when so configured.  Mostly they are using it to move drilling rigs.
