we are now the #1 fire priority in the nation.. ketchum and sun valley are being evacuated.. we had 1 of 2 DC10s in the nation that drop fire retardant.. last night he was flyin in about 200 ft off the deck in a canyon and BLEW an engine.. it was right over my buddies house.. he said it sounded like a stick of dynamite and large flames blew out the rear of the engine..SOMEHOW the pilot kept the thing in the air and limped to Pocatello.. its now sittin there waiting on a new engine..but there are 4 C130's several crop dusters and several helicopters including sky cranes.. it was like watching an orchestra last nite as they were battling the blazes.. those guys ARE INCREDIBLE pilots...not to mention FEARLESS

czuch

I would think you have grateful new friends living in your pasture.
They once came and asked if they could dip their bucket in my pool. The pilot was so good.
He barely splashed any on the deck. The kids really wanted to ride in the bucket. (so did I)
They came by 4 times. It was very cool.
Aot of guys with burn marks,gnarly scars and funny twitches ask why I spend so much on safety gear

Good on you for letting them roost there for a while. The best of luck to you and your neighbors.
