The description on the print states:

N483DF is a Sikorsky S-70i FIREHAWK medium-lift utility helicopter based at McClellan Airfield (MCC), in Sacramento, California. Although the 900 series have always been designated as backup aircraft, 903 became the first operational FIREHAWK for Cal Fire and used for pilot familiarization training prior to delivery of the aircraft type at helitack bases throughout the state.

Configured for the firefighting and rescue role, the FIREHAWK can transport up to 12 firefighters, perform rescue operations with a starboard mounted 600 lb rescue hoist, and carry out fire suppression with a retractable snorkel feeding a 1000 gallon (3,785 l) Kawak belly tank at a rate of 1000 gallons per minute. The cockpit is equipped with advanced glass multi-functional displays and lighted for night vision goggles allowing fire suppression at night. Its twin General Electric T700-701D turboshaft engines generate 3,880 shp powering the aircraft to a top speed of 224 mph (360 kph), a service ceiling of 20,000 ft (6,100 m), and a maximum range of 289 miles (465 km).
