Firefighting Airtankers



A friend of mine sent me a link to Rambling Chief's article about this video. This is a short clip from a longer (80 minute)  film, Firefighting Airtankers: "Aerial Assault", an Alan Simmons / Firestorm Video Production. In this clip you will see footage of the:

Grumman S-2 (CAL Fire)
Lockheed Neptune P2-V
Lockheed Orion P-3
Canadair 215 and 415
McDonnell Douglas DC-10 Tanker 910

There is some great footage in this clip, and I am looking forward to seeing the 80-minute version. At the end of the clip, you will see some footage of some vintage airtankers. To get the full effect, click on the video above to see it in a larger format directly from youtube.
