Air Tanker Use

If I had a nickle for every time someone shot a SEAT this year, I’d have two nickles … which isn’t a lot, but it’s pretty damned stupid that it’s happened twice.

The firearm damage in question was from a shotgun that left a spread of dents and one embedded pellet at the wing root/on the flap. It definitely didn’t happen during landing or takeoff at the airport, and was probably during a low pass at the jettison area.

For the more informed on air ops in the LPF does 11 Heli on PLASKETT and 41 Heli on TIMBER seem like the goldilocks amount?
