U.S. Forest Service Lead Aircraft during Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) Spring Training 2024 on May 8, 2024. One of the many tasks of the lead aircraft is to dispense a puff of smoke in a line which helps the trailing aircraft (a C-130 in this case) know where to begin and end their line of retardant (or water, in the case of training). The training, hosted by the California Air National Guard's 146th Airlift Wing, was conducted in the Angeles National Forest near Green Valley, California from May 6-10, 2024. Training includes classroom sessions, flying and ground operations for Air Force aircrews, civilian lead plane pilots and support personnel from the USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, other federal agencies and CAL FIRE. First Air Force (Air Forces Northern), U.S. Northern Command's Air Component, is the DoD's operational lead for the aerial military wildland fire fighting response.
