Spectacular aerial firefighting training practice with OV-10s, MAFFS C-130s, King Airs.

This is GREAT video! OV-10 Broncos, Beech Super King Airs, and military C-130s fitted with firefighting tanks roared over the wild lands near Santa Clarita, California, on May 12, 2023. U.S. Air National Guard MAFFS (Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System) equipped C-130J Super Hercules aircraft assigned to the 115th Airlift Squadron and U.S. Air Force Reserve C-130 Hercules aircraft assigned to the 302nd Airlift Wing, participated in aerial wildfire suppression training with the U.S. Forest Service and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) in the mountains of the Angeles Forest. This week's training will also note a 50-year interagency partnership between the Department of Defense and the USDA Forest Service.
The recertification training includes classroom sessions, flying and ground operations for Air Force aircrews, civilian lead plane pilots, and support personnel from the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and other federal and state agencies.
