Thanks to our friends in Australia
« on: July 06, 2023, 01:22:13 »
Fire season has been calm so far here in California this year but when it happens we will be having the added support of a fire fighting B737 courtesy of NSW. The plane and crew arrived here in Sacramento a few days ago and will be here in CA for 3 months and will fly missions along with Cal Fire’s fleet of aircraft.

It was only a few years ago that that one of the US fire fighter aircraft that was out here crashed.  Big aircraft doing low level work in high risk aerial water bombing.
