as350_b3 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

204B Driver Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 :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.
