NC Air National Guard Officer Leads National Forest Fire Fighting Mission
A North Carolina Air National Guard C-130 Hercules aircraft and her six man crew drop water (simulating fire retardant) during firefighting training operations over a remote portion of the Pisgah Ranger District, Pisgah National Forest. The aircraft is carrying the self-contained Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System owned by the Forest Service. As an interagency Defense Department and Forest Service program, MAFFS provides aerial firefighting resources when commercial and private air tankers are no longer able to meet the needs of the Forest Service.
