And I also forgot to add: "Hawkins and Powers as one of the biggest air tanker companies in the US", as well as one of the biggest air safety menaces.
I shot some stills of the DC-10 submitted to the Canon Imagin8tion Photo Contest. The shot is a semi finalist in the Project Imagin8tion Photo Contest put on by Canon Cameras and Ron Howard. You can help out by voting for my shot and getting this image into the finalist. The image could inspire Ron Howard in his next film! Share this link with anyone who might like to vote for it.

Nice tribute! The first photo is mine, I took it at TLH in 1998 while she was flying a fires Florida. She flew out of Lake City along with a DC-7, DC-4, PV2, P-3, and a few copters, NOW THAT WAS AN AIRSHOW!
FYI - for anyone who cares, for anything who says "it was quick" -- it wasn't quick. Milt Stollak was alive when 123 impacted the ground.
And for those who say "They died doing what they loved..." My father, Milt, DIDN'T love what he did - not anymore.
Something for the rest of you tanker pilots to think about: the word "morselization" was used on his autopsy report. A nice way to remember someone you love.
I miss these guys as well as the guys on H&P's C-130 that went down as well. We used to go snowmaching in the bighorn mountains together. Was quite the hit to Greybull, Wyoming
Ten year anniversary this July. We remember.

@stollak1 I do care, and am so sorry. Your father will be on my mind when I see an airplane. I gave up flying years ago.
