“Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), a presidential candidate, remained in California, where he successfully cajoled the National Guard to send six C-130 jets from North Carolina, Wyoming and Colorado to help drop flame retardant to stop the fires from spreading. California’s C-130s were not equipped to fight fires. “
They have jet engines now? Who knew?
What you haven’t heard about the C-130Z models? :>)
The rebuild them at Hill AFB. (Got to do something with those old F-111 engines.)
