A 20,000-pound helicopter, owned by VIH Aviation Group of Victoria, is loaded at the rear of a huge Ilyushin Il-76 cargo plane at Victoria International Airport on Wednesday. The 46.6-metre-long cargo plane was hired by the government of Chile to deliver the Kamov Ka-32A11BC helicopter to Santiago, where it will be used to fight wildfires. The chopper will be fitted with long lines attached to buckets, allowing it to scoop up 5,000 litres of water at a time.DARREN STONE
