Massive DC-10 Fighting the Slinkard Fire Above My House

Massive DC-10 Fighting the Slinkard Fire Above My House
This was two evenings ago. Since then the active fire line had moved north and west.

    I've seen smaller planes doing retardant drops before. But seeing a DC-10, up close and personal like that would be amazing.

    Tom Nathe I'd like to see that end of her journey too. She flies over our house at a rather uncomfortable altitude several times a day and that's impressive as it is.

    And I thought the last one was a bit large (I didn't get a good look).

    I'm about 95% sure it wasn't a DC-10 though.

    A little poking around, 10 Tanker is flying one of their DC-10's (tail number 911) on the Deitweiller fire, and GST is flying a fucking 747-400 (tail number 944) out of here for the Ponderosa fire. I'll try to get a photo if the air is good & I hear her light up the engines before takeoff.

    FWIW, the DC-10 carries around 10K gallons of retardant. The 747, almost double that, or the equivalent of a 15'x30'x6' deep swimming pool.

    (sorry, I watch them all take off, so I geek about what they're doing a little)

G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park

G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park - A World Heritage Site, one of the world's most incredible landscapes - Lunar rainbows ("moonbows") - waterfalls at peak flow - dogwood trees blooming by the Merced River - Spring wildflowers - reflections in Spring pools & the Merced River - full moon night landscapes The second photowalk in my series this Spring, again coinciding with the full moon to maximize shooting opportunities, will be to Yosemite National Park. This is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, and with lunar rainbows and night, full waterfalls, and wildflowers and trees blooming, this is arguably the best weekend of the year to visit. Feel free to RSVP or ask questions here, or for more information in a post which won't get buried, I've set up a post under a new Yosemite page at this link, where I'll maintain all the latest logistical details: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116372553458318494396/116372553458318494396/posts/ct...

Limited Time Offer

Limited Time Offer For the next 2 weeks, the light of the setting sun will backlight Horsetail Falls just before sunset... if the waterfall is flowing and if clouds don't block the sun! I just cancelled reservations for 2 rooms at the Yosemite Lodge for Feb 24-26 Weekend. I'll still be going, but I decided to camp instead. Come on up and shoot Yosemite in the Winter! https://picasaweb.google.com/107459220492917008623/MyTravels20062009#5293901653794383122 #plusphotoextract
