Mind-blowing Tour of Cal Fire's Aviation Fleet – Helicopters, C-130s, and More!
What does it really take to fight a raging wildfire from the air? Let me take you behind the scenes at Cal Fire Aviation HQ at McClellan, where I got an unexpected inside look at the aircraft and operations that help keep California’s wildfires under control. From the iconic Chinook helicopters to the newly converted C-130 firefighting giants, this tour was an eye-opening experience into the work that goes into aerial firefighting. 🚁🔥
Come along as I explore what aerial firefighting is all about and how these incredible machines—like the Firehawk, Chinook, and the massive DC-10—are used to contain wildfires and support ground crews. I'll also show you the transformation of military C-130s into aerial firefighting beasts, and what it takes to mix and load the Phos-Chek fire retardant that plays such a key role in firefighting.
This tour blew my mind—from stepping inside a C-130 to seeing the inside of the hangar where three of them were being converted. It’s not every day you get an inside look at the heroes in the sky, and I can’t wait to share it all with you. If you're into aviation, firefighting, or just love seeing powerful machinery in action, you're going to love this behind-the-scenes experience!
