Metchosin | BS: San Diego/California Wildfires Again (170* d) | RE: BS: San Diegos Wildfires Again | 23 Oct 07 |
Thanks for the link Peace. I have a soft spot in my heart for those old behemoths. The pic doesn't quite acknowledge the flying boat's massive size. They are awesome to watch in action. Also, the father of one of my dear friends was killed while working as a spotter pilot on one of their runs near here, when I was younger. Guiding them through the smoke in the mountains for a drop can be very risky business. |
