  • Great footage! Thanks for sharing! Every time I watch military B rolls I am reminded of the term "moving pictures" I like how the military always has a standard way of shooting. Beautiful in a sense.

    Loved it.

  • Gotta love these guys and gals. I don't think the public knows just how valuable the ANG asset is to air firefighting efforts in the USA. They are most often the first on station laying down water before anyone else is wheels up.
    Love the fact they are filming with GoPro's now. The footage is awesome.

  • Definitely a good thing the US has fire fighting resources like this, but I would imagine we could afford a shit load more if we weren't providing free military service to every country on the planet. It's not like any country is going to offer the US any help to fight these fires.

    But we've already had that argument, so no since beating a dead horse.

    Good vids by the way!!!!

  • High altitude smoke clouds reached north of Canada (Quebec) today, +3000 miles away. 30% of United States have been interested by smoke clouds' effects (source: NOAA Colorado, Facebook page).
