Awesome pictures!:rawk:

Are you guys gonna come up and help with the 70+ fires up here?

From the looks of it you could have pretty much taxied the tankers over to the fire and just used a hose to pump out the slurry.

We have two of our eight up there, doesn't mean the Federales are going to use them. AK fights fire a lot different than CA.

I am really interested in this type of flying. What does it take to get into air tanker flying?

Nice. So far I have seen the Canadians come through with their waterbombers.

T-20 just left yesterday. They are based out of FT Wainright.
