Perth Airport fire 2012

Posted on January 4, 2012 - Filed Under News

Hi Barb

I went back to take more photos of the planes at the airport
I had noticed on the net they were coming in from the opposite end
which meant i could get (hopefully) some photos of them coming in to land

however it didnt eventuate
instead there was a bushfire at the end of the runway with quite thick smoke at times
a couple of planes did manage to land while I was there and i got photos
but the real excitement was watching the helitankers dropping water on it to put it out
I got quiet a few photos and here are a few
I will post more as I do them in my gallery
the helitankers got really low over the flames
you would have to be game to fly them, plus the smoke got so thick that they disappeared in it at times
