Aircrews from the 146th Air Expeditionary Group (part of a unified military support effort of U.S. Northern Command to provide assistance to the U.S. Forest Service, state and local agencies, and the National Interagency Fire Center in battling large, uncontrolled wildfires throughout the nation) work with Air traffic controllers, lead pilots and maintenance crews to deliver retardant to fire-damaged areas. Here, MAFFS aircraft 7 and 8 of the 145 AW, North Carolina Air National Guard, demonstrate the hi-tempo of MAFFS training as one taxis out to lift-off and the other enters the ramp to reload its fire retardant cargo in Greenville, S.C.
