Ranman72 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'd like to post some pictures here to honor the tanker pilot that died the other day at Yosemite. I'm sure was doing what he loved and he has helped save a lot of people and homes. The guys flying these things have balls of steel. The type of plane he was flying. Not sure what is # his was. Some of the others in the fleet What they are fighting cool pics I believe the number was 81 on the crashed plane 1 Quote Link to comment
