oopsydaisy Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hey gents, Rainman, I almost hate to admit it but Pelican Narrows would be a great place to visit again, she was a good push. I still want to see that 2 legged bear, take a cruise down puke alley and maybe take a closer look at the local artwork. Have fun in Edson it sounds like I am heading to Vernon to standby to standby. :down: Goldmember yer just showin' off , How are things buddy?

Blade Slapped Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Couple weeks ago I was in Uranium City, played a little ping pong and lit up 4000 hectares. After each pass the 215's were there supporting our line, worked really well. It stopped that flank from advancing any further, the fire coulda been out if they had ground crew, but the Sask. Govt refused to send the type 2 crews the incident commander requested and a couple of extra mediums, oh well at least were getting some extra work out of her. Hate to be a pessemist but I think the seasons over in Saskatchewan and east for the year! :down: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldMember Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Supposed to heat up to the mid 30's here in U-City by Wednesday. Still a ton of work to do here. Probably at least a couple of weeks to go. Oopsy.... hows your summer been? Blast me a pm. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 It's getting warmer!!!! Now, there's gotta be some ignition. There must be some careless, avid smokers, who can't quite keep to the "no smoking in the cockpit" rule. Course one needs to bel flying for that to work out. Now for all those with no sense of haha, I'm obviousely KIDDING! Seriousely though, we need some ignition, lot's of it. Now for a totally different tune, anyone checked out "ZEITGEIST" while waiting for the next one. If you have an open mind and 2 hours of spare time, just google it.

Auto Relight Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 So I guess next time I'm swearing at the weather during a drill move, I can think about you Fire Guys having a rough summer... At least I've been flying tonnes. Then again, tent's are getting VERY old.... Less hours and a hotel? You're on.... ;-) AR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy rotor Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Over the last 20 years of flying, I can not remember so many mediums crewed standing bye at the forest services beckon call!!!! With the down turn in our industry, and increased equiptment avalability, I predict that if we dont start getting some fire action we should batten down the hatches!! SH*TS ABOUT TO GET REAL BROTHER!
