There was a fire on the Grapevine late today so Fox was in motion. I got there late and didn't get a whole lot of flying shots (like only 3) but I'd rather have that than a moster fire keeping them up for who knows how long.  <rocker>

Hey check this one out I shot at Fox late this morning. I have no idea what it is, but it certainly looks like a European design...........and those support trucks sure have good timing - driver decided to move right as the thing took off.
