If I Had a Life Do Over

my uncle was a navy pilot, then went the air america route after retirement. ended up flying around alaska in all sorts of planes. ended badly taking off with a load of drilling mud - shit happens fast in those/these environments.
 
Those pilots are about 100ft. off the tree tops too making the drop. That's why those idiots flying looky loo drones should be in jail for a very long time. Drone idiots interfere with current PNW fire response
 
I would live a life like Stoney Calhoun who is the Maine Guide protagonist in the mystery series by the late, great William Tapply. If you have not read the 3 books, Bitch Creek, Grey Ghost, and Dark Tiger you really should

Those guys are certainly badass. And the pilots managing the big tankers too.

Guilty pleasure watching them work the Lyle fire last summer. Horrifying to watch the fire but amazing to watch the fire boss planes on a tight loop almost constantly dropping water, and then it would all clear out and a big plane would come drop the retardant.
