A little secret. Flora and fauna thrive in live fire ranges. The damage is quite small.

The biggest threat to the farmer's property was from our waste and when the choppers shut down (a valve in the combustion chamber opens and dumps the remaining fuel through an overboard drain pipe; so we placed buckets under the pipes).
AHHHHHH, I see, makes sense now, thanks for clearing it up Mark.

Now I am off to play COD6 Modern Warfare 2, just coz you got me in the mood to call in an AIR STRIKE!

Cheers
