I have always loved the Captain Cloud Dancer video that TL Stein has given me permission to post on Nov. 2, 2009. The video is in memory of his Dad, Chief Thomas W. Stein, from footage that Chief Stein shot at Hemet-Ryan Air Attack Base between 1964 and 1971. Please take about 12 minutes and go to my Nov. 2, 2009 article and watch the video again.
I am interested in it at this time because of the footage of TBM3 Avengers, they are painted orange.
In addition to the TBM-3 Avenger, you will also see (in no particular order) see footage of these historical air tankers:
PBY Catalina
B-17
F7F
CL-215 (first use of this type in CA).
CAL FIRE (CDF) S2T Tanker 71 working Sawtooth Complex Fire (2006)
