Redding Air Attack Base on the north end of the Redding Municipal Airport. Various photo ops in the past 3 years

Old relays in Tanker 03 for the engines. These are known to fail and the pilot has to scramble over the tank and fix these in mid-flight (unless the pilot was feeding me some gibberish). They have a 3rd spare relay sitting just above this picture on a shelf. Since the plane is so old if a relay were to fail it would be a long time and costly to replace.
