Okay, niet zo spectaculair als http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-epxdQnFMw , maar zeker wel de moeite van het kijken waard...Incredible Aerial Footage Of Fight Against Colorado Wildfires with Radio Chatter included.
Watch as these big C-130's line up in attack positions behind the spotter aircraft.
Cockpit footage of fire retardant drops in an effort to aid in the fight against the Colorado wild fires.
You won't get much closer to the inner workings of aerial firefighting than this, unless you join the Air National Guard.
The Department of Defense provides firefighting support for the Colorado
Springs area. Members of the Wyoming Air National Guard from the 153rd
Airlift Wing, and airmen from the 302nd Airlift Wing at Peterson Air
Force Base, prepare specially equipped C-130 aircraft with the Modular
Air Fire Fighting Systems (MAFFS), to spray fire retardant onto the
wildfires.
