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.
They either kill the fire or make it worse.
@@w花b I think they know what to choose
I was airborne infantry, the exact same thing would happen on airborne drops in a c17, they are too low for the plane to generate any speed, so they fucking stall it and use the moment then kick it back on after the drop, you would feel the plane throttle hard then feel the engines die down, asshole pucker already because you’re about to jump out, but then also feeling the plane essentially just using momentum in the air was a double pucker
How does the plane even leave the ground carrying the pilots MASSIVE balls?
Whoa. They really get down pretty low to the ground
@nope not me true. I guess dumping that load at once probably causes the plane to gain lift; same speed but no longer heavy.
@@rohant dude you literally commented on your comment
@@romanmoreno-hines5494 hahahaha I just saw. I guess whoever I had replied to decided to retract their comment
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.
That's gangsta flying... damn! wow. simply wow
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.
Absolutely incredible piece of flying.
Man I bet you gotta be a badass pilot to do this
Those guys are badass!
…for them it’s about the jazz.
That 5 seconds of video starting at 1:30 is amazing. It looks like a monster attacking.
1:12 to 1:23 the pilot is not checking roll response. That is the updraft and turbulence the plane is flying through.
Those air crews are giving everything they've got to save life and property, but they need a few more DC-10 tankers Imo
They have a fleet 4 or 5 +
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.
I live in Southern California very close to the foothills and several years ago, we had a fire. Several of the kids in the neighborhood were interested in the DC 10 so I loaded them up in my C3500 White Crew cab. As we watched what was a literary private air show, we were surprised by a Cal Fire Supervisor and the local police. To my surprise, not only does the Tanker use the smoke from the small plane to mark his drops but they also use a " WHITE TRUCK " as a backup. The DC10 had dropped 2 half loads on my mark !!! 😳 Good thing that we were in line with the fire. They explained to us and the kids how it worked and asked us to watch from a different spot. Super cool people and insane flight crews !! THANKS CAL FIRE and all that help every year.
Thanks for answering my question on the leading aircraft. Saw a similar video and was wondering if it was a spotter or guide craft.
Most be fighter pilots in the DC 10 to pull that off. Nice work boys.
It's like they're almost stalling
Verry good job 👍👌👏💖
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
Could you imagine how he had to compensate for that wind gust having to keep it on target at an angle into the wind.... Awesomeness caught on camera 💪🏽🙏🏽
Pull up. Pull up. Terrain. Pull up. Pull up. Terrain.Pull up. Pull up. Terrain.
Great vid...thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Carson Murray where was this

amazing pilots
Unbelievable 🙏🏽♥️
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
Nice video!
Thought he was going to stall it there, that was seriously low and slow. You'd have to be half mad to fly one of those things into that situation, with the wind, the smoke density and potential particulate risk to the jets engines. As well as the lack of oxygen in the air. And how much does the fire retardant even weigh, that's a lot to put on your mind before you even get off the ground.
These pilots should be playing Lil Jon Get low in their cockpits. It would fit the mood so well.
❤
DAAAAAANG I had no idea they fly that low. You can probably throw a baseball from the ground and hit the side of the plane.
2:00 who else heard a one up from super Mario??
Dopeeee
That pilot looked like they were having a difficult time controlling it at that slow of a speed. Unless the wing wags were intentional for some reason. Does anyone know why they fly high alpha like that on dumping the payload?
Nice ! Camera works seems to need some training . . .

Cal Fire DC 10 tanker.
Ayo imagine an enemy combatant seeing that and saying “oh that’s just a passenger jet” immediately dives towards them😂. They dun did bambozziled us
