Being stuck in the "lower 48 states of canada" (albeit in a rather good place - Florida) waiting on fires has been very disapointing so far this year. Nothing exceptional to report at all.

As a matter of fact, if you look at nifc's sitrep and add up the numbers, you'll come to realize that "acres burned" is at approx. 50% of the 10 year average.

It all really smells like 2004 warmed over..... Scary, if you stop and think about it....

Looks like everyone might be coming downunder this year for the Aussie fire season.

:hide: Hey Ned if you know someone who could use an old Medium Pilot let me know I would love to go down under. My New Grandson was born May16, 2005 and the kids live in Sydney, need to get him interested in Helicopters. Take care Mate. Ken :up:
