Today, ... duh ... 9 August, 2017. It sure is smoky here in SW Oregon, USA. About 42N, 123W. Kinda. The sound of the heavy helicopters flying around with dangling water buckets is now becoming more frequent.
We do NOT miss the cool retro sound of the big shiny DC7 air tanker with the huge four bladed props blasting overhead training a thin veil of four black exhaust plumes. Such a nice sound we really dread hearing.
The foreseeable forecast is for more smoky conditions. Might last weeks. Maybe months. Lots of regional fires burning in our area. Hope this note finds all well and hearty. We live in a very interesting part of the nation.
