I'm sure it wasn't his first drop. Imagine loading up with water, making that long flight, and then missing the fire!

The pilot is very good and the Skycrane is an amazing bird!

Barry my sense is that he must have GPS Coordinates and target screen.

Sadly, I'm sure he has had more than his fair share of practice this year.

I think they have a pretty sophisticated aiming device on board.

It used to be two men with parachutes and later by helicopters. This really seems to be a step forward.
