The Salt Lake City news has a link to a pathetic afternoon press release that’s up on YouTube. The fire managers are truly bumbling idiots. No real information other than no one has gotten into the crash site and it may have burned over. |

Word in the type 1 fire world is that Miles got out a mayday call but the forest service is tight lipped if he announced the problem. |

The third seat is rear facing so he can see the load for precision lift work. |

There is something seriously wrong with you. If you are a helicopter pilot, which I doubt, your very existence on this site is an insult to this industry. Another Old Guy |
