California Rim Fire - The View From the Cockpit


An interesting news item from the Statesman, and some good cockpit footage, about a Lt Col in the California ANG flying fire bombing missions on the current crop of fires.

Thought it might be of interest in the midst of the RAF Club handbags at dawn. (Did I just thread drift on the first post in my own thread?)

Steel balls required there methinks.

Excellent first post drift as well. Reminds me of when I was in...

I'd take a small bet on the elapsed time between fitting a gear configuration override selector and the next gear up landing. Great video nevertheless.
