Did you see all the KC-10s doing their low approaches about 1230. First time I saw it one of them I thought it was in trouble, amazing stuff.

Slurry is sticky! Bitch to wash off

[Hoser]

Yup. Thats me. hanging out on MAFFS 2 again.

Headed to Canyon City for more practice drops.

That was a great video. I think the tanker won.

Be safe Hoser, I think we all hope that y'all won't be needed this year.

All of air tanker operations are hairy but the idea of low passes in a converted DC 10 gives me the willies.

You guys should see the air show we get on a daily basis from peterson. We are building the treatment plant that is basically right in line with their runway. Jets, helos, transports are the norm. Usually on thurs our tower cranes get buzzed multiple times by jets doing touch n goes.

That treatment plant is getting bigger all the time. When is it supposed to be done?

Ready for water next sept and we turn it over to CSU beginning of 16. Just about done with the major concrete packages but just ramping up with the pipe and mechanical.
