By the way, guys, I was at VNY today and the Skycranes are back. One is at LAFD 114 and the other across the field, just south of the 94th Aero Squadron at an old FBO that has an L.A. Co Air Ops sign on it.

Depending on the hopper number, one of those may have supported the kenwood(?) fire in the cajon pass this afternoon.  I'll look through my pics and see if the one supporting was a LA bird

HT-746 was out of Fox on the "Ken" Fire. Might have been one of your VNY ships depending on where they staged. :)

I've got Isabelle (Erickson 746) and HT 716 and 792 (helicopter transport services)  Couple hueys - one with a Canadian reg and fire-attack style tank and another with a bambi bucket in addition to at least 2 S-2's and 2 Neptunes.  Im guessing steep terrain and tons of fuel and a dropping sun in a high wind area come lead to a fierce air attack.  Pics later tonight - gonna screen Camarillo pics for a while...

As promised...

I do have to add the Aircranes pick up water like a surgeon with a chainsaw; Isabelle literally danced all over the pond while taking 2000+ gal from less than 2 feet of water.  Although the water they take on is twice the gross weight of the huey, hehe...  Aircranes are awesome.

Thanks!

Your second sentence...  I've apparently much to learn about CalFire and USFS operations.

No biggie :D BDF is just the agency code for San Bernardino NF, we listen out for the dispatches and the code.

Here are some of the important local codes where all the good action goes down:

BDF - USFS San Bernardino NF
ANF - USFS Angeles NF
CNF - USFS Cleveland NF
LPF - USFS Los Padres NF
RRU - Cal Fire Riverside Unit (Riverside Co SRA)
MVU - Cal Fire Monte Vista Unit (San Diego Co)
BDU - San Bernardino Co Fire
LAC - LA Co Fire
ORC - Orange Co Fire
KRN - Kern Co Fire
SBC - Santa Barbara Co Fire

Good point Ken, I haven't been on a VNC fire yet. Guiberson was on a down day for me.
