I also agree with Albert and will echo Rob in thanking David Webb for his work, responsiveness and patience.

Thank you Gene and Tim.

I brought my rolling magnet this morning and went over the entire parking area once. I’ve left the magnet in the LZ bin for anyone with some extra time to use it. There is a handle on the main bar that you lift to release the metal you have collected.

Sandy, may you never get another flat tire driving for all us crazy pilots!

Unexpectedly, I was rewarded with an awesome high altitude switch day flight in the afternoon that was definitely not in the plans this morning.

I agree, big thanks to both of you!

With the El Dorado and now Bobcat fire almost wrapped up, it would be a good time for someone with a good rapport with the San Bernardino FS to talk to them for permission for launching Crestline since we aren’t really going through, but over the Forest.

Throwing rants will not help anything. Knowing FS people on the front line, I can tell you that they could use a break too.
