good stuff here
http://fireaviation.com/2017/12/15/video-from-maffs-cockpit/
notice in the second video,you see a line of "puffs" from the lead plane showing the line he/she wants the tanker to fly....i added the she in as i was talking to a friend on facebook last night and she told me she is working the Thomas fire currently.
in the third video,notice the lead has the tanker going direct on a spot fire,its not unusual for the lead to have them do this,but this spot is fairly small,would have though they'd run a S2 in to it,or atleast a BAe
