From @active_norcal - CalFire airplanes have becom

From @active_norcal - CalFire airplanes have become well known for their visually-stimulating drops of bright-red flame retardant on California fires. And while they’re great to watch videos of the drops in action, it’s hard to see just how effective the retardant can be in extinguishing devastating wildfires.

That’s why CalFire released this video showing a plane dropping 9,000 pounds of flame retardant on an old Ford Explorer, showing the sheer force of the drop along with the pin-point accuracy the planes deploy.

Swipe 👉🏻 to watch the video from @calfire. #aerialfirefighting #wildfires #firefighters #fireseason #firefighting #emergencyresponse #aviation #safety #teamwork #rescue #heroes #disasterrelief #awareness #protection #forestfires #airtanker #fireprevention #firedepartment #disasterresponse #climatechange #emergencymanagement #firebreak #aviationphotography #firecontrol

MAFFS KC-390 currently flying missions in Pantanal

MAFFS KC-390 currently flying missions in Pantanal, Brazil. Thank you to our partners for their dedication and support as we battle these 🔥 🔥 🔥 together @embraer @ofidiosnarota @fab_oficial @unitedaeronautical @bradford_beck / @Esquadroesdaforcaaerea @repost KC-390 Millennium estreou nas missões de combate a incêndio na sexta-feira (28), ao ser engajado para atuar no Pantanal.

A aeronave do Esquadrão Zeus está operando a partir de Corumbá (MS). O KC-390 usa o Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System II (MAFFS II), um equipamento fabricado nos Estados Unidos, para despejar até 12 mil litros d’água sobre as queimadas que assolam o bioma.

Só neste sábado (segundo vídeo) foram quatro voos, totalizando o lançamento de 48 mil litros d’água e 2:55 horas de voo na operação.

Desde o início deste ano, mais de 688 mil hectares foram queimados no Pantanal, cerca de 4,5% do bioma, segundo dados da UFRJ. A maior parte dos focos está na região de Corumbá, que concentra 66% das ocorrências.

The Grumman S-2 Tracker was the first purpose-built, single airframe anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft to enter service with the United States Navy. It could be armed with two homing torpedoes, two depth bombs or four depth charges within its weapons bay. A number of Trackers live on as firefighting aircraft while the design also continues to provide excellent service with the naval forces of other countries for years after the U.S. retired them in 1976.
