Aeronca Firebomber
MAKAKILO FIRE is over I hope. I have watched the HFD, HPD and contract helo pilots doing a great job fighting that fire since Friday. But my dad and I noticed yesterday that they had stopped flying, and it appeared the flames and smoke were taking off again. So we decided to go “redneck simple” on the fire, hopped in the Champ with 65 mighty horsepower and a two gallon pail. Hawaii General Aviation taking care of business as GA always does, making the world a safer, better place. Enjoy another 9 second video from Hawaii Stick and Rudder. Anybody looked on that hill today, the fire appears to be done?? I am pretty sure our huge load of water was the last drop on that fire, just saying.
