Both the 10 Tanker DC 10 and a Coulson C130 have been based at Richmond RAAF base for quite a few weeks now and both have seen a fair bit of use. I'd guess if it wasn't for them there would of been property losses during some recent fires here in Sydney's west.

This was shot just 3 odd weeks ago.

DC-10 turns up about 2:50 in

This was the view from my backyard during that fire, had started getting ontop of it by this stage.


And the same view the week before while it was still out of control.
