  • Hi Sam!! It was great meeting you back when u filmed this video at Channel Islands! We’re currently activated right now for fire season here in California. Thanks for making a video about our mission, it’s definitely awesome seeing all our work come together in one video.
  • Fun fact there was some official concept designs for A10s to be used against wildfires

    air force firefighters are not required, but ‘heavily encouraged’ at certain bases to get wildland certifications as well in order to protect the base perimeter. we call it getting your ‘red card’

    Speaking of C-130s... Check out the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron. They operate the WC-130J Weatherbird and they straight up fly into hurricanes. There's a not a whole of documentaries or videos about them.

    My grandson is a USAF Loadmaster on the C-130 Hercules 😊 He calls it a WAREHOUSE IN THE SKY 👍🛩 🇺🇸 Texas Nana
  • Great video, Sam! This is definitely a mission that most folks don't know about. Happy to see these crews highlighted for the important work they do to protect lives and property.

    I've lived all over the west and now live in central texas and lately we've had tons of huge fires all over the place. the more that we can do to properly manage our forests as well as fireproof our communities the better chance we have at not being burnt down. C130s are a great addition to the fire suppression side of all of this. Thanks Sam
