Robert Russell submitted this photo and note: “A pair of Canadair CL215T fire attack Air Tankers sit on the tarmac at Reno-Stead Airport (KRTS) in Nevada. The tankers operated by Bridger Air Tanker out of Montana, were aiding the fire fight on the recent Davis fire in Reno, Nevada. On this day all attack aircraft were grounded due to unprecedented severe winds and turbulence over the fire.”
