Nice to see another RRU (and CNF for that matter) guy.


Here's a batch from the Highland Fire. Had a great time finally getting back out on an incident. And better yet, we haven't seen a vivid and ominous sky like this in a long time. I just had to go wide on these shots. Can't waste that sky.











And just to give an idea of scale, that S-2 (T-72) is closer than the hot spot seen to the left. And is almost swallowed up by it.

Nate - those are great shots! I might have to hit you up on some tips on the water bombers and the local area, I am still new new to the area.

I tried to get up to the Highland fire in Beaumont but I was a little late and the roads where blocked. However I did visit Ryan Air Attack base just in time to catch Tanker 74 coming in.

Shoot me a PM... sorry I haven't been around much but I'd be glad to share some tips and info. :)

Figured I would hit the ground running here with some photos that would fit well in this thread. It was after taking these photos that I came home and realized I had outgrew my XT and upgraded my gear lol.
