As I was writing recently about my trip to California where I visited Ramona AAB, the Midway, and the San Diego Air and Space Museum, I was following Bill Gabbert's ( on Wildfire Today ) reporting last week on the Myrtle fire (S.D.). Bill posted a nice video compilation of photos that he took of retardant drops by Neptune's tanker 7 on July 20 that I have embedded here. Towards the end of the video you will see that T-07 appears to be flying behind some trees. Bill commented about this:
... it exited the area safely and went back to Rapid City for the nightSome of you may have already seen some of the photos that Bill took of the fire. If you have not, you might want to go and take a look, July 22 photos of burn operations, and July 22 photos of air tankers reloading.
Bill, great video and photos!
According to the last report on the Myrtle Fire (accessed at 5:57 PM EDT on July 23, 2012) from inciweb the fire has burned 10,080 acres and is 40% contained.
