ADF Pilots have been facing dangerous conditions to rescue thousands of people who been cut off by Bushfires, this video shows just how dangerous these conditions have been, some missions have been called off as it’s just been to dangerous.

The first part of this video shows the crew of a C-27J Spartan attempting to land at Mallacoota, Victoria where civilians are waiting to be evacuated. Fortunately, our Spartans were eventually able to land and conduct evacuation flights over the weekend.

The second part shows the crew of a C-130J Hercules attempting to land at Merimbula, New South Wales to deliver Fire and Rescue NSW personnel – but due to the lack of visibility, were unfortunately not able to land.
