    A civilian air tanker drops retardant on the Beckwourth Complex Fire July 9, 2021 near Frenchman Lake in N. California. In addition to other resources, three Air National Guard C-130s--two from Nevada and one from California will assist in battling the Beckwourth Complex Fire in Northern California. The Air Force MAFFS teams are managed by First Air Force (Air Forces Northern)’s 153rd Air Expeditionary Group.

    A wildfire is burning on a forested hillside near a rural farming community, with a fixed-wing air tanker aircraft actively dropping bright pink fire retardant (Phos-Chek) across the fire line. Dense smoke billows above the tree line, creating a dark, ominous sky over the valley below. The foreground shows a ranch or agricultural settlement with livestock, outbuildings, and open sagebrush terrain that appears to be in the path of potential fire spread.
    An aerial firefighting aircraft is conducting a retardant drop over a forested hillside that is actively burning, with visible flames and heavy smoke near the ridgeline. The bright pink/red fire retardant (likely Phos-Chek) is being released in a long trail to create a firebreak. Below, a rural residential community with homes, vehicles, and outbuildings appears to be in the path of the approaching wildfire.
    An air tanker aircraft is conducting a fire retardant drop over a forested mountainside actively burning in multiple locations. The aircraft is releasing a large trail of bright pink/red fire retardant (Phos-Chek or similar) in an effort to slow or contain the wildfire. A small residential community is visible in the foreground valley below, indicating the fire poses a threat to nearby structures.
    A wildfire is actively burning along a hillside, with a visible fire line spreading across the slope at the treeline boundary. Large columns of dark gray and brown smoke billow upward and dominate the upper portion of the image. The foreground shows an unburned sagebrush-covered valley floor, suggesting the fire is advancing from the forested ridge downward.
    A wildfire is actively burning along a hillside, with a visible fire line stretching across the slope amid scattered conifer trees. Large plumes of dark black and brown smoke rise dramatically into the hazy sky above the burning ridge. The foreground shows unburned sagebrush scrubland, suggesting the fire is advancing upslope.
    A large air tanker aircraft is dropping bright pink fire retardant over a forested hillside during an active wildfire. Smoke is visible rising from the tree line at the top of the mountain, indicating the fire is burning nearby. Rural residential properties and farmland are visible in the foreground, suggesting the drop is being made to protect structures from the advancing fire.
    A large fixed-wing air tanker aircraft is conducting a fire retardant drop over a forested mountainside during an active wildfire. The aircraft is releasing a vivid red/pink fire retardant (likely Phos-Chek) in a long trailing stream across the tree line. Heavy smoke is visible rising from the forest, indicating an active fire burning on or behind the ridge.
    A large four-engine turboprop aircraft, consistent with a C-130 Hercules configuration, is conducting an aerial fire retardant drop over a densely forested hillside. A vivid red/pink fire retardant trail extends behind the aircraft across the tree canopy. Smoke is visible rising from the forest, indicating an active wildfire below.
    A large air tanker aircraft is conducting a fire retardant drop over a forested mountainside during an active wildfire. The aircraft is releasing a massive cloud of bright pink/red fire retardant (Phos-Chek or similar product) across the tree canopy. A large plume of smoke billows in the background, indicating an active wildfire nearby.
    A large aerial firefighting tanker aircraft is making a retardant drop over a forested hillside during an active wildfire. The aircraft is releasing a large cloud of bright pink/red fire retardant (Phos-Chek or similar product) across the tree canopy. A massive smoke plume rises in the background, indicating an active and significant fire event.
    A large fixed-wing air tanker aircraft is conducting a fire retardant drop over a forested hillside during an active wildfire. The aircraft is releasing a broad trail of bright pink/red fire retardant (likely Phos-Chek) across the tree canopy. A massive column of tan and white smoke billows upward in the background, indicating an intense, ongoing wildfire.
    A large four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft, identifiable as a C-130 Hercules marked 'USAF', is flying through or near massive billowing white and gray smoke clouds, likely from a wildfire. The aircraft appears to be configured as an aerial firefighting tanker, with visible red retardant drop tanks or MAFFS (Modular Airborne FireFighting System) pods attached beneath the wings. The dramatic composition places the aircraft against towering pyrocumulus-like smoke columns.
    A large turboprop aircraft, consistent with a C-130 Hercules configuration, flies over a densely forested mountainside engulfed in a massive wildfire. Enormous billowing smoke columns in shades of gray, brown, and orange dominate the sky, indicating an active and intense fire event. The aircraft appears to be a firefighting or reconnaissance plane operating in close proximity to the fire.

A long streak of bright pink/red fire retardant (Phos-Chek or similar) is visible across the tree line, creating a firebreak line. Large columns of gray and brown smoke rise from the burning forest in the background.
    A firefighting helicopter is conducting a water or retardant drop over a densely forested hillside engulfed in a wildfire. Large plumes of white and gray smoke billow into the sky above the tree line, indicating an active and significant fire event. The aircraft appears to be making a low pass directly over the burning area to deliver its payload.
    A large air tanker aircraft is conducting a fire retardant drop over a forested hillside area. The aircraft is releasing a vivid pink/red fire retardant (likely Phos-Chek) in a long trailing cloud behind it. A large smoke plume is visible in the background, indicating an active wildfire in the area.
