Out of control forest fire water bombing. Showing 6 AirTractor float planes, Bird Dog (guide plane) and helicopters in difficult terrain attacking stubborn blaze.

I loved the speeded up video and sound! They were able to fight the fire in half the time that way…. 😅

Very interesting video. Even for such a small fire you realize the scale of the impossible task once if grows larger. Thanks for taking us along!

Thanks for sharing this, I was on Tranquille Creek yesterday and watched the planes pass overhead multiple times.

Great shots and you have to love that DR, they're just a great all around bike

[@jannadem]

This Suzuki DR 200 is the best. I used to have similar types, Honda and Yamaha and both seazed on me when riding slow in hot weather. Suzi never protests and just goes.

In the 70s they would drop in a dozen men , mayby 2. with saws , polaskies , and piss cans..$1.50 -$2 an hour. take a day to contain likely. it would have been called a strike , not an out of control fire . .Ive been on up to 3 of these in one day . it was hard work . but fun.

I liked the part with the RC planes most. 😉

[@jannadem]

No RC planes there

[@karloarsch1579]

@@jannadem I know, it was joke, when you sped the video up, the air tractors sounded and flew like RC planes.
