Great pics. Those scoopers work out really nice when there is a lake nearby.
There was another team of four small scoopers here that I didn't get pics of. They were small single engine planes with what looked like pontoons, but they were actually water tanks. They were working in quite close formation making scooping runs and attacking the fire. Very cool stuff to see.
Most of the time when there is a fire around here, it seems we are in the downwind smoke pattern, and cannot really see much of what is going on. This time it is a front-row seat to the action.
