Excellent Air Tanker Video Clip

[Larry Kraus]

Here is a link to the Fire Aviation website which has a fine two minute video clip of tanker drops on the Courtney Fire in California. I believe that the Air Attack put this together. It is a Vimeo clip and should show a DC-10 dropping in the display. This is just a link to the website, so some scrolling might be necessary, although the clip was at the top of the page at this time. This is a safe website that I have visited for years.

Cool video. The music works, too.

Gawd, that DC-10 tanker is a beast!

Thanks Larry for posting that video. Amazing stuff. Sad to see the Oakhurst area look like that.
I've spent time up there several times. Beautiful area.

We've had several out of region Air Attacks in Medford over the past month to handle the fire complexes across the border in California and some local fires. I believe that this crew arrived from the Roswell, New Mexico Tanker Base.

912 was just approved within the last few weeks to be used. I would love to have the job where I am able to fly an airliner like most people do in flight simulator!
