McDonnell Douglas MD-87 (N292EA) - KRDD - Erickson Aero Tanker 102 departing July 19 2020 for McClellan in Sacramento, CA I had been on a 12-14 shift on OT and heard the jet action starting about 4pm, but was stuck in the office. at 8:00pm PST I left work and saw Tanker 102 tail rolling by on the taxiway...I headed over to the area by the fence and 5 minutes later T-102 roars out on a perfect low tuck and go!

Low tuck and go indeed. That really is putting them away early. Great shot Tom.
