Definitely getting well established. With the expected tcells moving through California today, these fires may get dramatic later.

Lead plane is dropping tanker 105.
Things are starting to look alot better.
AA is talking with the IC about the possibility of not getting a relief AA, and if they should go to Bishop and refuel or just make it a copter show.

Fire has slopped or spotted in a few places. Tanker 78 is attempting to encompass them into the fire.
Stating he only has enough to catch one of them.

AA went to Bishop for fuel.

Still talking about a VLAT being on order, but have not seen one come up yet.
