A C-130 Hercules from the North Carolina Air National Guard's 145th
Airlift Wing equipped with the modular airborne firefighting system
takes off from McClellan Airfield, Calif., on a firefighting support
mission. A continuing heat wave and an ongoing need for aircraft
to support ground firefighters will likely keep Department of Defense
aircraft very busy for the foreseeable future in support of the
national wildland firefighting effort. U.S. Air Force photo/Staff
