the parks department still hasn't fixed the fire road I use to put out all the campfires people build in the driftwood and abandon after the fireworks. I figure schedule a tanker for midnight and bill the parks department.

Can you schedule the flight of the tanker for just after the fireworks start? That should make for an interesting time for the partiers.

I haven't gotten permission from the chiefs, yet... that said, I'm off to prep the parade engine - by which I mean see if the mechanic got the battery changed, so it'll start. |

It will make an "Interesting" flight for the Tanker pilot as well?... Dunno how this pans out now, but SOP was there was no low-level flights scheduled for our own Nov 5th fireworks parties over here... whilst I was with them anyway... in fact, during "silly season" of bonfire night week/fortnight, RAF suspend all scheduled low-level flights and stay above 1,000 ft....minimum... |

I'll post the pics of our local mad max truck later. |

ouchie, belated happy "freedom day" to you guys  We didn't have any bonfires this year on midsummer's eve either, too dry. Though some idiot across the lake tried, was fun to see the flashy blue/red lights 5 mins after it lighted.....some people don't understand you can see smoke from a LONG LONG way. |
