Man, KTLA5's aerial coverage of the #palisadesfire is incredible if you like big firefighting tanker aircraft.
One TV helicopter shot was tight on the "10 Tanker" DC-10 before it widened out to show the entire retardant drop run.
These aerial #firefighting #pilots are the best of the best. Long hours, crap visibility over rough terrain, precision drops into small canyons, and rapidly changing CG as the load goes away.
