That third pic should win some award.

:cool:

I file that under the "bold pilots" category.

Not to mention those guys on the ridge getting a haircut!

Need to get mine scanned someday-Jimmy

Yes you do... Let me know, I would love to see them.

302nd training for the summer season today in NM.

Thanks for the pics Stuart. I dont often get to see drops from the ground.

That third pic should win some award.

I dont know who took it, I am guessing some CDF guy.

Who do you work for, or who owns those planes and where?

The planes are US Air Force. The squadron at Peterson AFB is one of 3 squadrons in the AF that do the MAFFS Firefighting mission.

Headed to San Diego in the morning.

Good luck Tom personally I would let all those rich anti-gun liberal pricks homes burn to the ground. Any chance you could replace the fire retardant with some sort of fuel? Like gasoline........

Got home last night. The guys that replaced us will be home after a week or so. The winds are supposed to pick up again later this week.

All we worked was San Diego County. Over 250,000 gallons of red goop in one week.

Lots of people out there have lost everything. I saw more destroyed homes this year than the previous 17 years of doing this combined.

We had AF camera dudes flying with us all week. They gave me a DVD with a ton of pics on it but I have yet to watch it.
