Sorry ran out of room for the last couple in the thread. The helicopters used 3 watering holes about a kilometre away from the fire.
In the last couple of photos, the pilots started waving and played a bit of a prank to the small group who were cheering them on by the waterhole. As they took off, they went lower than normal and kicked up a sandstorm, which you can see the start of, in the last pic down on the ground. Fellas, I raise my glass to you!!! Salute!!!!

Man, if you has set the shutter just a fraction of a second longer and gotten a prop blur, that would have been the best picture of a chopper EVER!  ;D
