The skies were full of BAe146s (4jet) and P2Vs etc. I watched runs on the MM14 fire all day long when it crested the range above Boise. Haven’t seen that much airpower since the BPD tracer fire of the 90s.

Nice to see them fight it the same day it started. I thought the policy was to call a two-day strategy conference?

Needs to be a higher cigarette tax during fire season?

Can we compare the increased air traffic NOISE from NIFC with the F35 proposal?

Addendum to my previous comment: 7:41 PM. Just noticed the fire bomber lead plane still circling around up here, and on closer inspection it appears that the smoke is going east of us here at MCRR. Apparently it isn’t as ‘put down’ as I thought!

7:05 PM. Not growning now, the heli bucket boys have gone back to McCall, and the smoke is quickly dissipating.

Vantage Point: Mores Creek Rim Ranches, directly north of the fire.

EDITOR NOTE: Thanks for the update
