Wisconsin air show visitors check out 'MAFFS II'
An Air Force Reserve maintainer answers questions from spectators July 29 about the Modular Airborne Firefighting System, or 'MAFFS II,' at the 2009 Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, Wis. The AF Reserve's 302nd Airlift Wing, participated in this year's air show by demonstrating the new MAFFS II capabilities on July 27 with a live air drop. The air show is known as the world's greatest aviation celebration and attracts hundreds of thousands of aviation enthusiasts from all over the world.
