Awesome... I was evacuated twice during the Station fires in SoCal a few years ago and have a lot of respect for the fire fighters in every discipline that saved all the properties. My hat is off to you all  :hi:

No the A/B 26 are all gone to the airshows, Cal Fire now uses the S2T turbine firecat (AKA tracker)

One of my favorites ! Filmed at the tanked base in McCall, Idaho. Very few movies I buy and keep on hand, this is one of them... Also "The Worlds Fastest Indian" (not fire related but great motorcycle movie).
