Excellent video, David! I remember filming from your lot there at Mt. High North as the choppers dipped for the Bobcat Fire. Of course I didn't have that awesome viewpoint- had to drive up Blue Ridge for that one

A chinook with a 61 size snorkel trying to say he’s lifting as much as the crane. Time it you’ll see who’s telling the lie.

Why do you need containment berms for water tanks? Yet the "Stationary" semi truck which is being used as the mani source of fuel has none..

@davidmarvindelacruz 12 күн бұрын

@SegoMan great question. All I can say is that the one the choppers were dipping into was fire-retardant and the other one was water which we witnessed them using to clear their system and just dump it in the parking lot. Not sure why they didn't contain the semi. Was just happy to enjoy the free airshow!

It seems like if you have a spot that good, it would be easier to just land to refill. Not as cool looking obviously, but less strenuous on the pilots and longer time on station if you can throttle down...

@bigmak40 True. Not sure why they did it this way, but it was super cool to witness. Reminded me of some of the awesome air ops I was lucky enough to witness in combat. It got me so hyped up! Thanks for commenting.

It is a lot safer for the ground crews.
