    A large four-engine turboprop aircraft, consistent with a C-130 Hercules configured as an aerial firefighting tanker, is silhouetted on an airport tarmac against a dramatic fiery orange and red sunset sky. The aircraft displays a large red number '2' and letter 'Z' on its fuselage, along with a US flag on the tail, indicating it is likely a MAFFS (Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System) or air tanker unit. Rolling hills and additional parked aircraft are faintly visible in the background.

    A 302nd Airlift Wing C-130H Hercules aircraft, call sign MAFFS 2, sits on the flight line at sunset in Klamath Falls, Oregon, July 22, 2026. MAFFS 2 and another 302nd AW aircraft, call sign MAFFS 5, are equipped with U.S. Forest Service-owned Modular Airborne Fire Fighting Systems and are conducting aerial firefighting missions on the West Coast, augmenting the civilian air tanker fleet when commercial resources are fully committed.
