Air Attack Grizzly Creek Fire 2020

[@Drew99GT]

Awesome vid! Thanks! gave me goosebumps! Nice to see Colorado signed an exclusive contract with a P3 tanker.

[@anonymos59]

These are DC10 and P3, right?

[@margaretjohnson1808]

Amen thanks so much you wonderful fire fighters

[@dustybottoms2780]

I’d like to see pilot footage of that down ridge pushover in that MD80

[@karloarsch1579]

Why not flying an MD80, or what it was exactly, like a aerobatic plane or a fighter jet, if you can?

[@curtyowellairtankerbaseadv]

Definitely subscribing because of this video. Hope to see more like this in the future.

[@DWBurns]

The DC9-80 made those dives gear down with a windshield full of mountain, no sky. Those were the most impressive retardant drops I have ever seen.

[@Jokertuning]

Thats the 747 super tanker and the other big planes are dc10s the dc10 don't get this low this is biggest tanker

[@sanniepstein4835]

@@Jokertuning Huh? Does the 747 have the engines back near the tail? I don't think so.

[@jamesnelson80]

The Erickson MD-83 drop was the most impressive drop I've ever seen! They were flying out of the USFS Jeffco Tanker Base in Broomfield and I believe they were also flying out of Grand Junction. I couldn't read the number on the tail but Erickson had several MD-83s involved. The MD-83s had to put the gear and flaps down because of the air flow. The retardant was sucked into the engines if the gear and flaps weren't down. I shot photos of the MD-83s flying out of the Jeffco Tanker Base showing retardant splashed up over the leading edge of the wing.

[@hawker7488]

How did they even take off carrying the weight of the pilots balls?

[@joaquinguzman8315]

These pilots and crew members are brave beyond!

[@Jokertuning]

Crew has nothing to do with it this is the biggest tanker he's only one who gets this low the dc10s don't get this low or the c130

[@paulfharris175]

These Pilots have balls of titanium

[@BillyBoB_508]

Sometimes it's hard to believe the plane can even fly with how heavy the pilots balls of steel are on board.

[@paulfharris175]

No not balls of steel but balls of titanium instead

[@Riverbed_Dreaming]

Thought those things were meant to have a 100m drop height, not 100ft god damn

[@noeatSLT]

The pilot was safe. It was 2020 and he was wearing a mask😂

[@darrellcook8253]

Utmost respect for the pilots who know their airplanes and how to fly them. Who knew commercial passenger aircraft could be flown like a groung hugging acrobatic fighter jet bomber. Hello Air force pilots? Umm ...we have a new mission for your enjoyment..um hello, hello?
