I was shocked when I first saw this DC10 plane flying near the Royal Gorge Wildfire--I couldn't believe they were allowing a passenger jet to get so close. Then it circled the fire and later dropped fire retardant on it. I heard later that they now use these passenger jets that have been modified to hold gigantic tanks for the fire retardant.
As I photographed the fire this plane flew directly overhead. SeEtta
