We're back on!
Just spoke with Rod. Things are winding down at the Airfield & Rod reckons it will be just fine for us to have a session at the Airfield.
Tonight there were only 6 aircraft staying overnight - one sky crane & 5 smaller choppers. Quite a difference from last week when they averaged 12 aircraft overnight, including 2 sky cranes. They had upto 13 aircraft a couple of times.
Those sky cranes chew through fuel at a prodigious rate, 5,000l per hour.
Thankfully things are finally slowing down. Rod sounded completely exhausted. But he's happy to have us back this Saturday.
Anyone like to see if we should offer our scopes for a session to the fire fighters to say thanks & as a bit of a distraction from their labours? I'm happy to make the suggestion to Rod.
