MAFFS training in Boise Idaho

I saw in an article earlier today about the C-130 MAFFS training that is currently on near Boise Idaho when I saw this wildlandfire hotlist thread linking to an article from the Magic Valley News (with pictures). A little later, a friend of mine who lives near Boise wrote me telling me that the C-130s have been putting on quite an airshow in the Boise area for the last couple of days.

Then as I was in the process of signing on here, I saw that Bill Gabbert had written an article about the MAFFS training here also referencing the article from the Magic Valley News. I learned from Bill's article that the National Interagency Fire Center has a face book page where they posted photos.

Tomorrow I will posting my fourth article in a nine-part series (was eight parts, but decided to split one article into two) based on three days that I spent watching the annual inspection of a Cessna 172P. Tomorrow's article is on the battery service. As I post the rest of the articles in this series over the coming weeks, I am keenly aware that fire season is already upon us in parts of the U.S. and elsewhere in the world, so I will be keeping my eyes open and my electronic pen in working order.
