Will try to put something together in the next day or so..... My bed is calling me.....
In the meantime, here is a link to a blog I keep of firefighting with a helicopter in the US. I am "G-man", there is also "Mike", who flies "Panaca Jane", an Astar on contract in Nevada. You will also see "Soccermom", who is a smokejumper pilot with the BLM, she flies the "White minivan"...all of us have threads on here....
