Fred Celest sent us these photos he took from Tanker 873. Thanks Fred!
The Single Engine Air Tankers were returning from the Lee Creek Fire in Montana on July 9.
The middle plane in the formation is T-803 with pilot Matt Lutz. The third plane is T-855 piloted by Matt Jurgensen. All three planes are with New Frontier Aviation out of Fort Benton Montana.
