Nice shots Mike and Trent.  8) I never get to see Erickson use their sea skimmer out here! They just use the snorkel.

Thanks Nate, its the first time I've seen the sea skimmer too.

A few pics from the Colby Fire in Glendora.

Really nice in close Mike. I definitely didn't want to run back to my truck and swap lenses lol. Figured I'd keep the short lens on :o

Tanker 73 getting out of Hemet in a hurry enroute to the San Diego fires.

I know it's taboo to use this many frames of the same pass, but in this case... I like the series :)

Tanker 131 leaving SBD on it's final flight of the day to the Las Pulgas Fire on Camp Pendleton.



And returning just as the sun ducked behind the San Gabriels:

Nice shots Nate!

I got some later in the day despite lightning not being that great for some of these. Although I think some of these shots came out okay.
