    early 2004 sounds about right. The Old fire was >>>” The Old Fire was a large complex wildfire that started on October 25, 2003 (the original Old Fire began on October 25), near Old Waterman Canyon Road and California State Route 18 in the San Bernardino Mountains, in San Bernardino County, Southern California, United States.”

    is that orange and white wing a Sensor?

     

    just found these pics… those are Steve Corbin wings.. Steve Corbin at AJLZ 101

    Steve Corbin HG 1992 02202020 landing Sensor at AJX

    That blue and whit topless with Px10 top surface and leading edge looks like his Fusion.

    I miss that guy!!! I remember the day i hiked to the 750. Steve was on his WW fusion… I yelled up, Steve land that thing! he made 2 passes and landed his topless Fusion on the 750 and touched down about 4 feet from the ESE lip :)

    Luke, Mario and I were replying to Marcello’s post about the PG area and CSS launch area. Not the entire LZ. you say Astro turf costs to much then in the next sentence you come up with a new idea… Hey lets use astro-turf for the PG area. :)

     

    now back to the i thought we were getting water from the pond question ???

    Mario, i was thinking the same thing about those carpet fibers. I guess Astro Turf would be better than carpet.

     

    I thought we were getting pond water. That’s like the driest i have seen the LZ looking since it was dirt. Why are all the local homes and parks grass still green and the LZ tanked.. Maybe to much of that weed killer that was applied months ago.

    Just a reminder to dog owners…. as i watched a cool looking ( i think Alaskan husky, maybe part wolf) walking the LZ hunting around gophers holes and sniffing around if the pet owner knows that the dog could end up with a gopher full of the poisons that have been dropped down the gopher holes for the last 3 months.
