2 Charlie’s and 2 Gulfs I believe placed to the state (unsure though) Going unified command with BDU. 130 acres right flank is still problematic.

Listening to Helco and 1 CH 47 on night flying. Seems to help and maybe we’ll see a better day later today.

View from my back yard in Lucerne currently at 04:40. Looks like it’s been making a steady push down canyon through the night.

In 2015 working as night AA with the night Helicopter pilots at FOX, they were limited to 4 hours total time using NVG systems. Had two pilots per helicopter, so you could manage the operations.
In operating with the added stress and eye fatigue?
