Fire fighting aircraft, as well as helicopters, participated in the air show with several flyby's and of course they displayed a water drop. One of the two Canadair CL-415's at Le Luc on the Sunday, the F-ZBFS with code 32, is seen here in action. The CL-415 features a four-compartment, four-door water tank system and it can take only 12 seconds to scoop up this 6137-litre water load. Besides the two Bell 205A1's there was also another fire fighting helicopter; the Erickson S-64 Skycrane helitanker. Six of these helicopters are operated by the Italian Protezione civile. One of them, with serial N217AC and code 732, came to Le Luc.

Two Firecats Turbo Tracker Firecats (converted Grumman S2F Tracker aircraft) showed up at Le Luc. One of them, the F-ZBCZ/23, is seen here while it starts to climb after the release of it's water load.

The Gendarmerie ordered eight EC 145 helicopters to replace the Alouette III helicopters. The EC 145 is in use for mountain rescue operations - in particular by the PGHM (Gendarmerie High-Altitude Mountain Rescue Unit) and by the GIGN (Gendarmerie Rapid Intervention Squad). The EC 145's has an especially spacious cabin that is configurable in several layouts, and carries up to 10 persons (9 passengers and a pilot). One of the eight examples, the 9019/JBD, is seen here during the demo on the Sunday. Another EC 145 at Le Luc. The Sécurité Civile ordered a fleet of 32 EC 145 twin-engine helicopters. They received the first example in April 2002 and on 19 May 2005, the final EC 145 was delivered. One of them, the F-ZBPA, is seen here during a demonstration on the Sunday.
