Excellent video of fire fighting operation by Cal Fire

[Larry Kraus]

This showed up on the Fire Aviation website today. Very good video giving a pilot’s eye view of keeping a fire from growing. None of the usual B.S.

That was a great a video thanks for posting. The tail reloading station on the turbo tracker sure looks handy- nice to be away from the props. They usually fly single pilot?

[Larry Kraus]

Yes, they fly single pilot in the Turbine S-2 and also did so when they flew the piston engine version as tankers.

Nice video! I love it when we get these "in situ" videos like this. It really shows how much skill it takes to make make these things happen.

Yes, thanks for posting this Larry - cheers, sir!
