N57B making high altitude passes over the fire, I guess this is for hotspot imagery?
N57B is one of the FIRIS aircraft I believe it is OES Intel 12 yes it is real time ir imaging
Sounds like they were having some serious concern about spots and/or fingers but AA seems happy and is leaving the fire now.
Heli 6WL had an unscheduled landing on the fireground but seems like it was mechanical and everyone is OK.
6WL finally lifted off this evening around 1800 or so. I guess they got whatever fixed
Glad to hear that. I would hate To lose that IA ship with the forecasted weather. Funny, I usually see them fly over me from that direction on their way back to base.
