Title: Aussie fires
Post by: Donnyboat on January 23, 2020, 05:47:40 PM
I must admit, I had a flat helpless feeling, when I herd, that a fire fighting air tanker with 3 American crew has crashed, in New South Wales Australia,( NSW ). I dont think anyone has arrived at the crash sight yet, cheers Don.

Thank you for the report.  Firefighters (and air crews) are well aware of the risks.  Good thoughts for all, and hopes that the corner will be turned soon, well before the changing of your seasons. 

Just heard and read, C-130 owned and operated by Coulson Aviation in Oregon.  Coulson has grounded their fleet.

Yes thanks Jim, see there is still 40 fires still burning in NSW, Coulsons are flying the crews raletives over, to NSW from America or Canada, for them to see the crash sight, & also to travel home with the bodies, cheers Don.
