Great stuff Michael, Jim and Brian.  Michael, I know what you mean..... ;D  Scoopers where out in my area yesterday.  Watching from gym.   Small fire off of Crenshaw Blvd, maybe started by car accident.  Both Scoopers came in and make at least one drop each.  I think one of the county 412's brought in a hotshot crew to help.

I thought that's what it was.  I saw one of them flying over Redondo Beach towards Palos Verdes ;D but I was working, so no camera :(

Great shots everyone, looks like APSC has it covered ;D

Shots from Monday.........launches quit right as the sunset light was beginning to get good. Somebody's been messing with the "no parking" signs, putting them further and further out along 60th West. And somebody else has put up a cardboard 'no parking' sign at the sweet spot.........

Things have picked up a bit at Fox.............they were taking off to the east this time, so got a chance to get some different angles.

I'll be in the area on Saturday.  What's the best time of day to catch some activity at Fox Field?
