Today Denise and I visited the Cal Fire Attack Base here in Redding. As you may have heard, we have fires raging all around our county as well as other parts of California. The on the ground firefighters, heros one and all, were out taking care of business. But here are a couple of regular guys who risk their lives every day to keep us safe and secure. My thanks to each and every one of them!! We owe you!!

This is a 4 engine turboprop on loan from Cico, California. It is a P-3 Orion for you airplane buffs and is also the base for our fleet of AWACS planes and was initially a jetliner called the Electra.

Me too! It seems less smokey today but it will take a while to get everything under control.

Thank you, Susana! I like to share information as well as photos. I know I always enjoy some story when I am looking at things in another part of the world. Sometimes things are the same and often very different! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!! :-))
