Before training in the sky, MAFFS aircrews take to the classroom

Kim Christensen, National Interagency Fire Center deputy assistant director of operations for fire and aviation management, briefs members of the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve on the U.S.'s 2016 wildland fire outlook during day one of the 2016 Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System certification week in Ventura, Calif., May 2, 2016. The annual certification week, taking place May 2-6, brings together members of the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve to be certified on operating MAFFS in the event of being called upon to support wildland fire containment. The wings include North Carolina's 145th AW; California's 146th AW; Wyoming's 153rd AW; and the AF Reserve's 302nd AW. Airmen from the Colombian air force were also on hand to observe how the U.S. Air Force responds to wildland fire support requests. (U.S. Air Force photo/2nd Lt. Stephen J. Collier)
