Soĺ Cal fires

i don't know where they fly the fixed wing stuff out of, but i'm next to the Van Nuys airport and they been rolling the twin rotor hueys big since last night.

i can't imagine anything up in the air for most of yesterday. it was absolutely unimaginable and breath taking at the same time.
We have a loading station here, but we may be too far away? I don't know what their limits are as distance goes.
