In my wonderings on Youtube just now I was reminded of this video. from 1990, of Conair DC-6 T-48 getting a load of retardant and then working a fire the Thunder Fire near La Ronge, Saskatchewan in June 1990. This may be a rerun from about four years ago. I enjoyed seeing this video again, and I hope that you do as well. Enjoy.

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.

I haven't seen that video in while. I find it interesting that they could load aircraft in only some cut off jeans.I started with the company 4 years after this was shot. Sorry to say there are no more Dc6's in our company
Steve, thanks for sharing. I liked the video of the DC-6 which is why I posted. I can't really comment on loading aircraft in cut off jeans.
