Is there a reason they're not using airborne water tanker planes to fight the LA fires?

Because this is California. Nothing there works anymore.

Visibility problems. Too smokey.
Yes I see the irony.

Cannot find any DEIs with a pilot’s license?

They are when they can, but the wind isn’t just causing problems with the aircraft - it’s just blowing any water drop away. I.E., when they drop the water payload, it just gets blown all over the place and none of it hits the ground in the target area, if at all.

Wind has not been blowing hard today.
Yesterday was the hurricane like winds. Stopped very early in the morning today.

Yeah, the wind speed is one issue
The second issue is they don’t have many planes, Canada apparently has sent some of theirs because of our lack

They were until it got too windy yesterday and shut them down last night. Been using them all day today, md80’s, BA146, various prop/choppers, etc.

They are using them today. Saw them myself. Yesterday the winds were high and visibility was poor and much of the burning occured at night.

Good. I didn’t know the winds had calmed down enough today. I just knew they’d mentioned yesterday that the planes couldn’t fly. The footage I’ve seen today and tonight showed the flames and smoke blowing.
Horrifying to see. I’m waiting and hoping to hear from my step-sister, who lives out there. I don’t know if any of the fires are near her.

I just saw some footage a few minutes ago of a helicopter flying. Now sure which fire it was flying over though. Might well have been the new fire that started a little while ago.
And now another one has started at Studio City. :-(
