...possibly this is a flight tracking of one of the DC-10 water bombers leaving Australia.  This leg is from Oz to Pago Pago in American Samoa.  This might be one of those DC-10's based out of California (?) or British Columbia.  I hope the fires are out in Australia, or at least winding down.

.....a great asset it was this fire season, many thanks to the crews who helped, still about 50 fires burning but they are under control, 27 million acres burned out an about 700 million of our wild life gone and sadly 33 lives lost.

Now it's about to leave Pago Pago, destination Hilo airport.  Then from Hilo, back to San Bernardino.  I guess about 15 hours flight time total, maybe 14.
