Larry wanted you to see these because they show the little airport's (Springbrook) location in relation to the fire. Larry sent along the image from Google Earth where he circled the location of the Dixie Gulch fire shown in the you tube video that I posted on March 5.
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.

DC-7 Tankers in Action (part 3C)
I conclude this set of three posts of tanker 66 at Dixie Gulch with two stills taken after the drop in the previous article (part 3B). Recall that these stills were captured by Larry Kraus from video shot by Bruce Smith.
