10 Tanker Air Carrier - DC-10 Air Tanker 911 dropping fire retardant on the fires in California
Taken with Sony HandyCam HDR-CX675 while standing on the roof of my house with pretty strong winds. Pretty sketch for sure. Sun was bright and it was hard to see the LCD screen while I was recording. So I am kind of all over the place trying to locate the plane and record at the same time.

Watched a short doc about these guys. They literally have to put the plane into an airspeed stall when dropping retardant as it would disolve before landing if dropped at too high a speed. They push the aircraft beyond its limits everytime they fly. Steel balls.
-
Whoa. They really get down pretty low to the ground
-
How does the plane even leave the ground carrying the pilots MASSIVE balls?
-
Man I was going to yell about cameraman but this is a solid video for standing on a roof. Now I'll be even harsher on future cameramen.
-
That's gangsta flying... damn! wow. simply wow
-
Those are some "bad ass cats" flying a large aircraft like that! My first couple of times to Hawaii was on a DC-10. I never felt so comfortable, even though I wasn't the pilot in command.
-
Absolutely incredible piece of flying.
-
Man I bet you gotta be a badass pilot to do this
-
Those guys are badass!
-
Those air crews are giving everything they've got to save life and property, but they need a few more DC-10 tankers Imo
-
That's so awesome. Sometimes it's difficult to see the little chase plane in front guiding the air tanker and ejecting a puff of smoke to mark the spot where the dump should begin.
-
That 5 seconds of video starting at 1:30 is amazing. It looks like a monster attacking.
-
-
Most be fighter pilots in the DC 10 to pull that off. Nice work boys.
-
Verry good job 👍👌👏💖
-
Can u imagine watching a wall of flames approaching ur home as u desperately hose down ur roof with a garden hose and u hear the roar of jet engines as the plane banks to line up with ur home!! The cavalry has arrived
-
It's like they're almost stalling
-
Unbelievable 🙏🏽♥️
-
Great vid...thanks.
-
Looks like a very bumpy ride for the crew in that plane. Makes one wonder how much brass they have to account for in their weight calculations
