These bombers are great to work with. Saw a group of 3 do a line drop on a grass fire as we were arriving as first due. These lads get so close to the ground but for them its like clock work, hero's of the sky's

Spoke with oneo of 'Those Guys' one time. He told me he'd checked All of his check lists, and had never seen a one of them that had a line that said, "Crash the airplane." (So he "don't do That.") Ex-military, a lot of them, and they are All About "Program Compliance."

"Simmer" of '22 "cheek-by-jowl" with the Virgin River Gorge area: the Tune seems a little jarring "jest" at first, but the farmers and ranchers in these parts would (shorely) appreciate a "White Chirstmas."
