Air-attack is some of the hardest flying on the world.
From the second video it looks like he overshot his target and then overbanked in the turn to correct.

That sucks. I love those planes, we usually have two parked in my town and ready to go anywhere in North America. Always amazing to see them operate when there’s a fire nearby.

Supposed to put out fires not start them.

Crazy approach, it didn't look windy? Lined up before dropping in might have helped.
