How awesome is this video showing one of the McDermott Aviation Guardian’s (Bell214ST) at work in Greece for fire suppression.

We currently have (5) Bell214B’s and (3) Bell214ST’s working on the fire grounds.

You will also notice this 214st is sporting the new expanding fire fighting belly tank which can you believe is made about 250 meters from our Cooroy (Noosa hinterlands) Heli base by Helitak Fire Fighting Equipment

We still operate a fleet of Bell47’s with the Turbine conversion. The extremely light airframe with C20 HP make them a versatile agricultural aircraft.

The largest collection of Bell 214 series helicopters gather at our Western Australia fire fighting base at Jandakot airport. The Bell214’s machines are sought after throughout the world due to their small footprint and large capacity… next stop home of the Olympic Games 🏋️‍♀️

A little history on our Families Aviation company

A little history on our Families Aviation company which started in a once small town named Cooroy.

McDermott Aviation Pty Ltd was established back in 1982, beginning operations as an Aerial Application specialist company. Since then, we have grown into Australia’s largest privately owned helicopter company – whilst still operating out of our original premises on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
We have evolved over 35 years from providing purely Aerial Application operations, to operating Australia’s largest fleet of privately owned helicopters, and are currently the industry leaders in Lifting/Aerial Crane Operations, Mosquito and Fire Ant control application, Search and Rescue Operations, Aerial Application, VIP Charter and Freight, and of course Aerial Fire Fighting – currently holding one of the greatest number of NAFC Aerial Fire Fighting contracts in Australia, and pride ourselves on our level of Fire Fighting ability, performance and customer service.
Employing over 160 staff world-wide, owning and operating over 45 Helicopters, we offer a large and unique variety of Helicopters to suit any situation that may arise, including the worlds largest fleet of the most powerful, single engine, twin bladed helicopter ever produced – the “Big Lifter” Bell 214B.
With our main base situated at Cooroy on the Sunshine Coast, and bases located at Maroochydore (Sunshine Coast) in Queensland, Bankstown in New South Wales, Jandakot in Western Australia, Papua New Guinea, and New Caledonia, we are located Australia wide and neighbouring countries, whilst also moving aircraft further around the world each and every year. We don’t just operate within Australia; we operate throughout the world.
Over the years, we have been an integral part in the development of projects such as the Isolair 214 Tsunami fire fighting tank, Kawak hover-fill pump, Bio Security Fire Ant Eradication Program, and the Lord Howe Island “Weed Eradication Program”, all of which required innovative ways to solve complex problems.
McDermott Aviation holds CASA Air Operator Certificate for Domestic and International Operations.

We had this lovely message sent in by the Alkins family today after their property/house came under threat from a major bushfire in Western Australia.

Brilliant work to all involved 👍💪🚁💦

I can’t express enough how much my wife and I appreciate the work you do! Yesterday in the Denmark fire my wife Liza and I were completely surrounded by intense fire closing in on our family home and two of your pilots came to our rescue. Their precision, speed and care are the reason we still have a house. Absolute legends!! Thank you from the Alkins family 🙌🏼❤️
