Castaic, United States - January 22, 2025 On January 22, 2025, U.S. Air National Guard Maj. John-Mark Koetitz piloted a C-130J Super Hercules over the Hughes Fire in Castaic, California, equipped with the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS). The MAFFS units, part of a coordinated effort involving eight C-130s, supported CAL FIRE’s wildland firefighting operations by dropping up to 3,000 gallons of fire retardant per load. These systems, capable of refilling in under 12 minutes, are crucial for rapid response in the battle against the ongoing blaze.
