Awesome cockpit video of MAFFS 4 (CA Air National Guard C-130) dropping on the American Fire. He runs west along the North Fork American canyon, then turns east and drops just past Macedon Ridge as far as I can make out. Things look a little different than from on the roads!

Re: Tanker drop
Tanker 89 is usually flown by Joe "Hoser" Satrapa - a legendary pilot, who first started training in Navy F-8 Crusaders in 1966! Great article here:

Amazing career, and I love to hear him on the scanner at the beginning of the fire season - another year for Hoser.
