Lucy comes from Armidale's Fleet Helicopters owned by Lockey Onslow who decided to paint her that distinctive colour and donate a portion of income to the NSW Cancer Council.
While refuelling, Lucy's pilot James Rainger said the contributions were a little unique.
"I think Lucy is quite special. She helps us fight the fires and look after the community," he said.

"We are a local company operating in the area, and we like to support our local communities. But we also donate a portion of our operations rate to the NSW Cancer Council.
"The bright pink also means that we are increasing awareness of the fight against cancer, which most people know has affected someone that they are close to."
