B-roll of two Air National Guard units, the 152nd Airlift Wing (Nevada) and the 153rd Airlift Wing (Wyoming), participate in 2023 Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) training at Channel Islands Air National Guard Station and surrounding areas, April 12, 2023. This video was taken within the Angeles National Forest, west of Green Valley, Calif. The orange tail flashes (numbers) represent aircraft from these two units: eight and nine with the 152nd, one and three with the 153rd. The white-colored lead aircraft are flown by pilots from the U.S. Forest Service; these aircraft direct the tailing C-130s into the proper flight pattern to drop a line of fire retardant — or water, as was used during this training — on the ground below.
