Might not be too bad once you get the hang of a hanging load.  That seems like a talent.  Dropping fire retardant is a pretty precise operation too if it is effective.

Later designs had a turbine engine located down on the saw portion which begs the question of how the fuel gets to the turbine.  Possibly had a fuel supply on the lower portion so you could dump all the weight for better performance in an emergency?

The hoses had couplings from the helicopter that were coming disconnected so someone wired them together.  When they needed to cut the whole thing loose the hoses didn’t disconnect and the thing crashed.  There is still a thriving business using them back east somewhere.  Probably have a dozen or so units but never sold them to other operators.
