That DC-10 nose landing gear was a pleasure to build and over haul for these guys. I now feel proud to be in the aviation field knowing Everytime this aircraft takes flight it's doing good. And my hands contributed to the success of this team.
I have spent my whole life working with my hands and you can feel Juan's respect for the people who do the grunt work!
Excellent example of high quality independent media coverage. Great coverage, fascinating, and pertinent. Thanks Juan.
Juan, superb job as usual. You are the best technical reporter on RUclips. Please don’t ever stop!
This has to be the best reporting on these giant jet tankers that I have seen anywhere. Great job Juan this is a fascinating view of the operations.
thanks Juan
Juan, they are giving you great access due to your history with them and your authentic informed reporting. keep up the good work
Wow - the other media sources never provide this level of detail - You are the best!
Juan...this is very good information. I thank you for taking the time to explain and show. I am a 911 dispatcher for fire/ems in tucson arizona . some of my crews are working on the camp fire at this time. I would ask you to thank all those you showed in this video for their service at helping to keep my crews and all the other ground crews safe with their hard work. If not for those crews, my firefighters would never get some of these recent fires under control. They are a wildland firefighters angels.
Wow! Impressive video! What a great reporter, pilot, father and husband. God has blessed you!
When these guys are flying 16 they make their turn out to the east and pass almost directly over my house. I had wondered about their capabilities. Thanks very much!
Dunno why this popped up now on my YT home page, but I don't regret it ! Great work !
Remarkable behind the scenes reporting. This is the type of video and audio you wish the major media guys would air - but they never do. Thank you so much.
Great behind the scenes footage, combined with first-hand knowledge.
For "real" news this is the go-to channel. The stuff on TV is just entertainment and commercials. Not very satisflying or factual. Keep it up Juan. Much respect for what you are doing.
Thank you Juan for taking the effort showing us around in your world!
Exclusive Access ! Great video Juan . Amazing to see such large planes making tightly maneuvered air drops . The pilots make it look alot easier than it is for sure.
Thanks for enduring all the noise and dust so your viewers can be educated.

Thanks for the great instructional video!
tubehound8 I noticed the lack of respirators and hearing protection on some of those workers also...
@@jeffpalmer5502 Seems like they would have a safety engineer on site. The lack of respirators on those retardant workers made me cringe
@@jeffpalmer5502 *No one gives a fuck u stooge*
Excellent insight into the great job these guys are doing. Thank you Juan!
A great, informative no BS video! Thankyou for showing me something I had no idea about previously, the low tech, no CGI, no crap presentation is really appreciated, the thoughts of Australia are with you at this time, we know all about fires as well.
If the Captain of a Triple 7 is impressed, I am too! Great report Juan!
I thought JB _is_ a 777 pilot...?
He is. Or at least he was!. Maybe all he's flying now is the little Champ.
If it’s the same Juan Browne, he landed a 757 at LAX with one engine with 154 souls on board. I believe it was American Airlines back in 2012 or so.
Years ago when I first heard they were using 747's and DC-10's for air tankers I thought "That's insane, flying big planes that low," but it's incredible how skilled those pilots are. I was watching them from my roof fight the Nunn's fire last year. Amazing.
Glad to see that our #1 reporter can have a senior moment!! :-) Thanks again for a great report
Why is this channel not bigger? Juan does a fantastic job on any subject he covers. Facts and facts and facts. Many thanks to you Juan. Stay safe out there !
Another great report, Juan. You are the most valuable resource for the Camp Fire. Nobody has the access that you can get. This report should be a National TV.
Thanks Juan!!
I work at McClellan Park. I watched these heroes work all day every day flying to save lives. Impressive to watch the elegance of these birds and how these pilots fly them like a sports car.
Very nice to get an understanding of the complex logistics behind these operations. Thanks JB
You took the words right out of my mouth , I never imagined seeing the 747 fighting fires , very cool !
Its had a long and chequered history: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/747_Supertanker
Thank you, sir! I just went from complete ignorance to reasonably well informed about how these large tankers work, something that has always impressed me but I really knew nothing about. 18 minutes of impeccably researched and well written (and presented) documentary journalism will do that for you! Consider me subscribed.
As a former air traffic controller at KMCC I love, love, love seeing my old base being put to such good use. Fight on!
Also thanks to CalFire for allowing us to join Juan for a well documented "Field Trip"! Enjoyed. Good luck on the fire!
Thanks again Juan!
Thank you Juan for a detailed explanation on how mixing is done, learned something new and kudos go to the pilots, ground crews in saving lives and minimizing property damage, graceful birds are still impressive thank you for sharing and the good Lord keep the crew safe
I don't care what anyone else says, DC-10s are a thing of beauty! This is my dream job, if I'm lucky maybe I'll get to fly my favorite plane doing it one day!
That 747 is HUGE! How cool to see that in person! Lucky!
Thanks for this Juan, The average guy like myself would know little of the hows, whys of such an incredible operation without your knowledgeable reports. Everyone to a man is doing a superb job, the aircraft crew , dozer guys etc, all of them. Thoughts of course for the too many lives lost; how many more would there have been without these professionals.
Awesome as usual. Thanks Juan.
Love your reporting, always honest and straightforward. An inspiration for what reporting is all about.
Real people doing what they can... god bless them!
Thanks Juan! We can always count on Blancolirio.
I guess if this stuff keeps up, we'll have to buy a couple of Andropovs.
At the same time this was happening, another fleet of air tankers was dropping above our house during the Woolsey Fire. We saw 2 DC-10 aircraft, flying out of San Bernadino, a DC-8 and at least four BAE four-engine jets flying out of Lancaster. The turnaround time was incredible, and they were very effective in stopping the spread of the fire. I was really impressed with the piloting as well, dropping so low. There was a pilot aircraft, a small prop plane, that led them to the drop zone and painted it with a smoke drop to let the tanker pilots know where to dump. They must have done 100+ sorties right in front of us. I'm so grateful we have this resource here in California.
About my fifth time watching this. Nothing more beautiful than a 747 taking off!
Good stuff as usual, Mr Brown. Thanks for doing the work that so-called "journalists" can't or won't seem to do.
Thank you Juan for keeping us so well informed ...
Fascinating stuff Juan - props to these guys and wow, turn-around time is impressive.
Some superb stills... and your footage too is great.
My heart goes out to all the victims and the amazing firefighters.
Excellent reporting again Juan, thank you.
Fascinating and educational !! Thank Juan & thanks to Cal-Fire for allowing you access.
Seeing it from a distance looks easy and fun, but of course the hard working men and women behind the scene, and the pilots too, deserve a round of applause. Keep up the fantastic work saving our communities, forests and infrastructure.
Thanks for the in depth reporting on the fire air operations reloading process.
Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family
They are an awesome setup. This is what the Australian Government need to get over the summer bush fire season. We do have the Elvis sky crane but we sometimes need that extra capacity.
Fantastic video, awesome to see what you men do behind the scenes to protect families!
Awesome, Juan! God bless all those who are fighting those fires...and all those who are having to live and deal with all of this. Good luck to you all! Keep up the best reporting in the nation, please!
Awesome Juan, appreciate the tour. Godspeed to the fire fighter effort and prayers to all those families that have lost everything, even their very lives. Tragic.
Juan Great job keeping us all informed. Thanks for the inside look at how it's done.
Just when I think your reporting couldn’t be better you never cease to amaze me but you did it
Thanks Juan . . . Bob
Thanks for your exclusive look at the tanker operation Juan!
Dad job well done your new grandson is going to be proud of you his grandfather has a cool job flying it
Retired 747 jockey here. Thanks for the tour Juan. Very informative.
Juan, you present the best info out there, thanks!!!
Thanks Juan. I look forward to you videos. I get more valid information from your reports than reading the stories online.
Thanks for your dedication to local events Juan!
While watching this, I thought of a lot of questions, but by the end, you answered all of them. Great in-depth report.
Fantastic unique access to this operation! Thank you for producing and sharing your insight.!
Thank you Juan for showing us how the tankers and retardants work. This was so amazing to watch the process. God Bless you for keeping us up to date.
What is impressive is this behind the scenes video! Thank you so much! Awesome!
Jaun!!!
Thank You SO MUCH for bringing these videos.
Praying for everyone..
Incredible! Insightful reporting. I don't know of anyone else who does this reporting, no other media outlet will give us this info. Thanks, Juan.
Thanks Juan, another great video that educates and informs me about these huge fires in CA. God bless these guys and all those firefighters.
Very interesting insight into superb work being done. May all the victims RIP and thoughts+prayers to friends and relatives from the UK.
God Bless all those folks fighting this fire.
👍👍👍 AWESOME COVERAGE JUAN 😍😍😍
REAL COVERAGE, Right from the front lines!! THANK YOU Juan 😎 👌 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Learned a load here , today..........WOW , good work everybody !!!!!!!!!
Juan, Excellent as always! You deserve an award for your time and efforts. Bob
Thank you VERY much. Your channel has such a great diversity that as not only a retired military and civilian pilot but also an enthusiast, I can always find many topics covered and thus I'm always not only entertained but also informed. Please keep up your top shelf work. Your videos go a long way toward de-bunking what we see on network news programs and on those nauseating blogs by hangar pilots who don't know their aft section from peanut butter. They truly are a breath of fresh air. My prayers for your healing. Again, thanks Juan.
Great to hear from you again from the UK
I live pretty close to this base and on our days off I take my boys and we go sit by the fence and watch this plane take off and land all day! Very fun and pretty interesting:)
I ran tanker bases all over B.C., and Alberta. From building tanker bases from scratch, to Mixing powder, and full resource management. Hard, hard, but fun job. Thanks for all your efforts, ladies and gentlemen. Please be safe.
Thank you again Juan for the great educational vid. You and Tim Pool are the best examples of independent Journalism.
We need the 747 in Australia right now.. Probably sitting unused at the moment. You guys are so lucky to have that amazing aircraft..
We already do..
Currently undergoing repairs in California, and the company what own it needs someone, the Aus. Government or private citizen, to pay them for the use of it, and needs the Aus. Government's permission to fly in the airspace.
Checking on their website it looks like its being unused at the moment and waiting for a deployment.
Awesome report Juan! Love the behind the scenes look at how these operations take place. Have been following all your reports on the Camp Fire closely. We are keeping all those who have been affected by these tragic fires in CA in our thoughts and prayers. Please keep yourself and family safe!
We really lucked out having you for a guide ! Thank you.
Thank you Juan. It,s good to see things are now starting to get under control. " Thunderbirds Are Go ".
Fascinating behind the scenes look Juan, thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for keeping us to date on the camp fire. Having lived in yuba city. Now living in orlando fl its great to see you informing us on it and cal fire fighting the good fight. Keeping everyone there in my thought and prayers
Thanks Juan very much we only get one or two minutes of information about the fires back east on the news each day great job
Thanks for the access CalFire and of course thanks Juan.
AWESOME!
Always learn a lot from your reports. Thank you Juan.
Thanks for this, I am a 747 Tool Engineer and I am really happy to see our Queen saving lives . I wish i could see all the rework to the AP structure that allows this to happen.
Thanks for filling us in on the fire fighting effort in California!
Incredible operations and a unique look only Jaun can deliver.
Thanks Juan , Never a dull moment on your channel , Great content once again ...
I work the line at KPIH and we were lucky to have 910, 911, and 912 loading and returning from our tanker base. VLAT's are absolutely incredible to watch operate. I even see Jeremy with 912 in that selfie!
Working this campsite wildfire has been the scariest wildfire that I have ever been in my life. I never thought I would see so much horrific things to these helpless people that were just trying to evacuate it's unreal. I appreciate you getting this video being I'm always on the front lines of these wildfires I never get to see this in action side of the operation.
Excellent video Juan. Glad you were able to get a close up of the reloading. Lets hope they can get this monster under control very soon.Thanks for sharing. regards from the UK
My favorite Boeing airplane 747. Such a beauty. Thx Juan very informative. I learned something.
Thanks for doing the leg work , it keeps us all up to date !
Thank you Juan (captain) Brown for the insightful reporting on the way the ground crew works to keep these behemoths purring & back in the air to fight fire ASAP! At the time of the Rim fire I lived about 3 nautical miles from its western flank. I have pics of tanker 914 dropping retardant.
