N493DF (cn 12001) Super Huey on the pad with fuel and foam on the way, as CDF S2 bomber '70' taxies to takeoff.

N370EH (cn 30624) Ramona Helitack (H-538). The Cedar and Paradise fires, along with high winds, gave parts of eastern San Diego county "Nuclear Winter" on day two of the fires. Visibility is less than 1/4 a mile, ash and dust fall like snow, the temperature is up to 30 degrees cooler than it should be, and an eerie red glow from the fire means all aircraft are grounded. It takes a lot to keep these guys down. C-2100UZ, 1/200th, F2.8, ISO100, 115mm. |

N493DF (cn 12001) "Battle for Julian" -- Making a 330gal drop less than 1/4 a mile from Downtown Julian. Dispite 35kt+ winds, this helicopter was making an incredible 3 drops per minute thanks to the close proximity of the water source -- that's sixty-thousand gallons per hour of fire-killing air power. C-2100UZ, 1/500th, F6.3, ISO100, 388mm. |
