Default OSH 2007 Parties -- You're all invited!

What are you guys using for dumpers, Stoots or Stoofs? The two here at
Grass Valley were the first two S2Ts in California and they have just been
absolute workhorses.

You flying the dumpers or the spotter?

He can order the DC-10 for the CDF Calif dept of Forestry. The US Forest
service refuses to use it. It cannot spot dump. It is only good for laying
in long, long retardant lines. The plane is not that maneuverable as well.
No something we do often and it is very very expensive to run. about
$30,000/ hr.
