Bad Helicopter Season


Recommended Posts

hi there!

 

I have heard from a couple of helicopter pilots that this year is one of the worsest in the last years!!

Can anyone tell me why this is?,and how the situation for low time pilots is?Is it worser then in the last years?

I suspect our friend Toni speaks a language other than English as his langue de mere, n'est-ce-pas? Therefore, his grammatical transgressions may be forgiven.

 

But you guys, since you started it...

 

Punk:

- It's grammar, not grammer,

- In "Digression to Follow", follow should not be capitalized.

 

And Elvis should have said, "The last time I looked in one of the books of words, neither  worser, nor worsest were there."

eloquent as always CTD....... (S%$T..did i spell that right??!! )

 

as to the topic, yes, it is a VERY slow fire year. i have been out for 3 weeks and have only actioned one fire that was put out in one day................

 

as to the question about low time guys getting in? i would say yes, it''s tougher but still not impossible. don''t give up....

 

on the bright side, what doesn''t burn this year adds to the fuel for next...

Luscar????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Holy jeepers, there''s a place I haven''t heard of in a while!!!!!!!!!! Been there a time or two myself albeit not in a 61!!!!!!!!!!

 

Am happy to report this side of the Pacific showing no significant fire activity so far. Good thing too although consumption of various fluids is enough to put out most flammable situations.

 

Right, must continue recreating prior to "work"!!!!

 

Keep it level 412 Dude.
