Big Bird on the scene... Tanker 912, a Douglas DC10. Carries 11200 gallons of fire retardant. I shot these last night.
Tanker 12, a BAE jet that I also caught last night.
912 and 12 are both working a fire in Vacaville (6000 acres as of this morning) and are flying out of Mcclellan afb in Sacramento.

Cool video here - it starts out with the normal ground school talk....explaining vortex from props and wings - nothing to eye opening there - blah, blah, blah. But....then the guy goes on to explain why ducted props (and jet fans) work better. And why an engineered opening rather then a straight tube works even better(Hit - your get a low pressure in font of the duct - and a higher one behind it). The ducked fan and cowling info was really interesting! Reminds me of the calculations that you do on rocket engines to capture all the thrust.

I wish I could get that close to take pics. These are the best I've been able to do so far this year.
These were from the Wragg fire near Vacaville last month.

Yes, Cal Fire uses OV10s as spotter planes. OV-10s are really cool.Originally posted by gkurey View Post

Here are a few pics I took on my last 'work trip'; enjoy!
I'm especially stoked on this one; this guy is supersonic and I was surprised to get a photo in focus, haha!

We have a guy at work on an exchange tour who is a Hog pilot by trade......he seems to think anything more than 300 knots is like really really fast, and also admits to not liking it when he has to fly greater than 10k feet above the ground. Pretty entertaining. That being said, I have instructed several of his BFM (dogfighting) flights and he is actually quite a natural in the Super Hornet for how little experience he has in it.Originally posted by M-technik-3 View Poste92 M3
