A good buddy that I served w/ in the USAF is a pilot on one of these fire bombers. Said they flew alot on Mon, Tues and Wed, but not so much today. Said he saw 100 ft on the altimeter once.

Brings back old memories when I use to call in A-10's for a ground strike! Love It!:thumbup:

What is it that they are dropping? If its chemicals, is it good to be that close to them dropping it?

It's crazy to see a DC10 moving like that, that close to the ground. NUTS

Thanks Todd, Just great to see it on video, but in person the sound and power of those A-10's on the deck taking out a tank or APC or a position is just freaking AWESOME!
