Fox Field Tanker Ops

"We need a clean up on 24!"

What do ya want to bet that somebody has a new call sign after this drop of a partial load on the runway today! 

They continued on their run over the fire and returned to make a short field landing in good shape.

Hehe that was sooo funny......."did we have our door open???"    LOL


Here are some of mine from today......Nate, here's a nice shot of #48 for ya. The Cobra shot kinda cracks me up too, like they're landing on the P-3.

Ahhh, that is a beaut!  And the Cobra shot really DOES look like that!!!!!

A little more Cobra

Some foxed wing. Flying shots are all 1/60 while landing and taxi shots are all either 1/30 or 1/40.

Here's some stuff from this afternoon. Had another retardant drop on the field, although it wasn't much. It was almost dark when the Cobra got back this evening, so I ended up having to really ratchet up the ISO just to get 1/60th of a sec ss, so pls pardon the noise on those.

I think I found a good spot to shoot the P-3's banks..........
