Three US firefighters lost their lives today helping to fight the fires in Australia when the C-130 firebomber tanker they were operating crashed.

Australian will mourn these heroes as our own.

Thanks to all our friends in OZ!

We in the Anglosphere have to protect each other! If the Anglosphere ever disappears, it will be the end of the civilized world.

This C-130 appears to be an “E” model.

I was curious about the model as there was a crash with an “A” model C-130 that lost a week while making a run on a fire in California back 2002.

All the “A” model C-130s were grounded as a result of this crash.
