Looks like the first aircraft set the marker for the drop by the DC-10. Do you know if that's what that was?

Yes. The first aircraft is called the lead plane. He will make multiple passes on the line for a "show me" to the tanker and pop smoke where he wants the start the retardent.

That thing looks pretty nimble for the size of it, and the engines are turboprop I'm guessing (sound more jet-like that prop-like).

It seems sort of like a C-130 on steroids. Does anybody know much about it?

Those are good looking aircraft. I never noticed before how the front wheel tucks in between the two air-intakes.

Good stuff! The part I liked best were those water "foot-prints" in the lake.

Noticed one shot with the tail-hook down too. Nice.

 

[Another Ahab]

How low can you go?

Check out Svetlana:

- Between 1:28 to 1:50, and also

I did not know that HMX-1 had started to include the Osprey (MV-22B) into the flight group. I know Another Ahab like Osprey's.
It's different [for me] to see them in dark green, here they are all battleship gray.

Anyway, not sure if anyone posted this video in another thread, if so, [Mod's] feel free to move or delete it.

A body can forget the size of these things.

That flight deck is HUGE.

Maybe not to an avaiator, but to a pedestrian walking the thing; it's huge.

 

[Another Ahab]

Trust, but verify.
