▶️ WATCH || They're very challenging and dynamic conditions out there. Even though our crews are highly trained and professional, heavy smoke from bushfires means they’re not always able to complete the mission on the first try.
The first part of this video shows the crew of a C-27J Spartan attempting to land at Mallacoota, Victoria where civilians are waiting to be evacuated. Fortunately, our Spartans were eventually able to land and conduct evacuation flights over the weeke...nd.
The second part shows the crew of a C-130J Hercules attempting to land at Merimbula, New South Wales to deliver Fire and Rescue NSW personnel – but due to the lack of visibility, were unfortunately not able to land.
