An FSX Movie for the Air Tanker AKA Firebomber fans...

This is for the air tanker buffs. :encouragement: I know for a fact we have several here.

As is usual for my videos, it was rendered in FS Recorder. So instead of putting music on it to mask the silence, this time I grafted on audio from real P-3 video clips I have.

The inspiration for making the video is the WIP base scenery Tankerguy72 is making for Hemet-Ryan. For those of us that have been there in real life (we grew up there) it is like stepping into the real thing.

In the video, you fly on a full sortie out of Hemet-Ryan Air Attack on an Initial Attack dispatch to Avery Canyon Road just south of Hemet. It is a real life high fire threat area, and has several homes in the canyon with only one escape route. As I go on scene, you may notice from the Megascenery there are homes in immediate danger on each flank, so I elect to drop on both flanks as the focus of this first sortie instead of in front of the head. We then return to the pits at the tanker base and shut down engine #2 for another load of Phoschek before the movie ends.
