- —'Windlifter', Planes: Fire & Rescue, [[{{{3}}}]]
Windlifter is a member of The Smokejumpers, an organization working to fight against wildfires.
Bio
Windlifter is a heavy-lift helicopter who can hoist dozens of trees or a huge tank of fire retardant. The American Indian’s wisdom is vast—he’s chock full of fire folklore, and his connection to nature allows him to sense fires before they’re even spotted. The former lumberjack became a firefighter to help others, and no mission is too big for Windlifter.
Planes: Fire & Rescue
In Planes: Fire & Rescue, Windlifter helps to put out all of the wildfires with the rest of the Smokejumpers, though hesitant to do so at times.
Personality
Windlifter is a quiet "gentle giant" who only talks when he needs to.
