This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |
...be glad it wasn't "red retardant slurry" they sprayed you with, or the wife would have been REALLY annoyed...Fishbed_9307 wrote:I smelled like =censored= and was actually sprayed by the CL-215 but I really enjoyed the fantastic flying skills of the Dromader and CL-215 crews and the great sound of these aircraft.
One guy actually thought that he could battle the fire with a bush. Despite the shouting from the nearby road he was probably unaware that he was about to get the biggest shower of his life as the heavy artillery was about to arrive!
This one looked nasty through my lens and I actually got sprayed!
On its way for another scoop and for me back to the hotel as I was now seriously late for dinner and finding a heavilly annoyed better half and kid at the hotel!
I smelled like a package of smoked ham and it was worth it very much! But indeed better this than the chemical retardant they use in the States.Stratofreighter wrote:...be glad it wasn't "red retardant slurry" they sprayed you with, or the wife would have been REALLY annoyed...Fishbed_9307 wrote:I smelled like =censored= and was actually sprayed by the CL-215 but I really enjoyed the fantastic flying skills of the Dromader and CL-215 crews and the great sound of these aircraft.

You smelled of fire and ash afterwards
Not that the photos would not have been worth being sprayed and smelling like a pig boar...
The lot of 359 MAEDY, 351 MAE
