Cool, CalFire has some new C-130s! – at Mountain View, CA
The CAL FIRE C-130H requires three personnel to fly; the pilot, co-pilot, and flight engineer. These aircraft are scheduled to be put in service throughout the state before the 2022 fire season. CalFire Air Ops

A real #avgeek moment: the logging of flight time. #pilots #flying
Like any good pilot, we've logged the flight, and thanks to @ICAO, we even have designators for #MarsHelicopter's first flight (IGY-1), call sign (INGENUITY) and our backcountry airstrip in Jezero Crater, Mars (JZRO).
