Last minute review

Lt. Col. James D. Banker, chief of current operations with the Air Force Reserve’s 302nd Airlift Wing based at Peterson AFB, Colo., discusses the challenges of flying the aerial firefighting mission with Squadron Leader Saraphongse Dibavadi, 601 squadron deputy commander, Royal Thai Air Force, prior to a training mission involving a wet drop at Phitsanulok RTAF Base, Thailand. Seven members of the 302 AW traveled to Thailand to provide expert training to RTAF members on safe and effective Modular Airborne Firefighting System operations. This event marks the first time the Air Force Reserve has sent delegates to train a foreign Air Force on use of the MAFFS equipment. (U.S. Air Force photo/Capt. Jody L. Ritchie)
