A Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System-equipped C-130 from the Air Force Reserve Command's 302nd Airlift Wing flies above the smoke of the Springs fire near Banks, Idaho, on Aug. 9 just north of Eagle. Two MAFFS-equipped C-130s and aircrews from the 302nd AW MAFFS are deployed to Boise, Idaho. MAFFS 5, assigned to the Colorado Reserve wing, made the 500th retardant drop for this year's MAFFS operations Aug. 8, 2012. A MAFFS-equipped C-130 assigned to the 302nd AW also dropped the the 1 millionth gallon of retardant since MAFFS began flying aerial fire fighting missions in support of the U.S. Forest Service June 25.
