Bomber circling?

[Gman]

Just saw a Hurk flying northbound about 30 minutes ago. From this angle was probably over I-25... and just now had one flying south overhead.

I live by the Jeffco airport (or whatever they are calling it now ) and have been doing some work really close to there. They fly so low I can practically smell the pilot. LOL. Can actually hear them when they are spooling up on the runways. It's been cool to watch this week.

Hoser, you sit in the back, correct? Can you get to the front if you want to, or does that equipment occupy all space between you and the pilots?

It is a tight fit, but yes we can get up and move around.

Saw them cruising up and down the hogback from Chatfield area a few days ago. Very nice!

We did a repaint of a relatives home that was close to the Boulder Canyon fire several years ago. The house had lots of splatters of retardant all over from airdrops to contain the fire. It worked, the home was saved.

The stucco finish needed repainted (Big house) and that stuff really does a job on prefinished colored gutters/downspouts.

I'm calling Gov. Polis to suggest they add some KILZ paint primmer to the fire retardant when fire bombing homes in Boulder

There is a saying, "It is easier to repaint than rebuild."

Great photos, thanks Hoser. What was your role on the plane? Interesting the tanks and slurry mixer that goes on the plane. Apparently the discharge pipe can be seen on the left side of the plane behind the wing.

We weren't able to see the water drops yesterday but today I was up the mountain at Beaver Reservoir and watched multiple drops over the St. Vrain Divide. Here's a couple of shots:

Excellent pics. Thanks for posting them. We almost never get to see any from that angle.

Took this about 12 minutes ago. Probably can’t see the big orange 2 on it in the pic.

Partly cloudy with a chance of Hoser:

I believe the typical slurry recipe is simply water, fertilizer and an iron oxide based pigment.

Which virus movie where they dropped the bomb at the beginning?

Outbreak, at the end

Outbreak, at the end

Outbreak, but at the beginning. They dropped that daisy cutter on that African village

Ah, I haven't seen the movie in eons. I remember the helicopter dogfight, though.
