Grieving family members have visited the site in southern NSW where three American airmen died when their plane crashed during a bushfire mission.
Captain Ian McBeth, first officer Paul Clyde Hudson and flight engineer Rick DeMorgan Jr were killed when the water-bombing tanker crashed and exploded 50 kilometres northeast of Cooma.
Family members of the three men were on Wednesday flown to the Peak View site in a military helicopter after earlier meeting with NSW Rural Fire Service bosses, Seven News reported.
NSW Police Minister David Elliott said the state was grieving alongside the families.
"We owe them an enormous debt," he told Seven News.
New footage of the crash emerged on Wednesday as the families prepared to visit the site.
The footage showed the C-130 Hercules dropping pink retardant on a bushfire at Peak View last Thursday before the tanker disappears into thick smoke.
An explosion is then heard as the vision shows a fireball burst up from the ground.
A NSW Police spokesman on Wednesday said the force was aware of the video "and it will form part of the coronial brief of evidence".
The footage appears to have been shot by someone standing next to a fire truck.
A NSW Rural Fire Service spokesman told AAP it was also aware of the video but the service would not be commenting.
The C-130 Hercules was owned and operated by Canadian-based firm Coulson Aviation.
A Coulson Aviation spokeswoman on Wednesday said the company was aware of the video but would not be making further comment.
Wayne Coulson from Coulson Aviation visited the crash site on Sunday and said his feelings of grief were "indescribable".
"To see our aircraft on the ground, knowing we have had such loss of life, was devastating," he said.
A fundraising page to support the families has so far raised $25,000.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau on the weekend began downloading data from the plane's cockpit voice recorder.
Investigators have been interviewing witnesses in Cooma and using a drone to produce a three-dimensional map of the wreckage.
