I've had those planes fly 100 feet above my house to put out a fire in the brush nearby. That was cool beyond words.

The interest here seems to be growing, as this was just posted a few minutes ago. But the author is not clear about the alleged political issue.

Air Tankers sitting in Sacramento while Texas burns!!!

Right now their are seven heavy air tankers sitting in Sacramento California doing nothing while all these homes are being lost in Texas. Due to political bickering and arm wresting the premier air tanker in the country is sitting Idle on the ramps due to differences with Aero Union and the Forest Service. Encourage the Forest Service to send these tankers to Texas to help fight these fires! It would be great if Politics were put aside for the time being so these tankers can do what they do best and fight fire!
