Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Summer is coming soon and that means it is time to start refresher training for water bombing to get ready to stop and eliminate any forest fire that can happen during hot summers.

Presenting water bombing refresher training flight from CYQH Watson Lake Airport 5 nautical miles west of Watson Lake, Yukon, Canada to CYXY Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport  located in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada

Taxiing to runway 08 via taxiway F



On climb to 10,000 ft entering into clouds



Flying through thick clouds during climb



Emerging out of top of clouds at 10,000 ft to start cruising



Cruising at 10,000 ft entering into high clouds



Flying through clouds at 10,000 ft



Weather cleared up during descent to start water bombing



Now flying above trees getting ready to drop water



Yes  that is my extremely lame editing attempt to stimulate water bombing



Descending through heavy clouds on way to runway 13R



Now below clouds maneuvering to approach the runway



Very tricky to handle 65 year old plane in powerful winds!!





Seconds before touchdown



TOUCHDOWN



Braking down on wet runway



Exiting into taxiway on way to gates



Revving up engines to excite airport photography spotters during taxi to gates





Another DC-4 waterbomber plane at CYXY is ready for early morning training mission too!!!  



Thank you for viewing.  Stay tuned for next exciting flight.

Regards,

Aharon

Shalom Aharon, your water drop looks like milk, pretty funny; and as a former plane spotter I appreciate the engine revv on taxi.
