Jimmy, we are praying, have been praying and will continue to send prayers, for you, and all the people that are living in what must appear to be that burning inferno.  We are also keeping the prayers aloft for those that are working in whatever capacity to assist, save, free and protect all the people and their belongings.  I'm glad you got your bikes out, job well done.  Let's just hope everyone makes it out alive and well.  Belongings can be replaced.  People's lives and limbs can not. 

Keep the faith.  It will help you be as strong as you will need to be today and all the days coming till the fires are out and all the cleanup and repairs are done.

Stay safe Spiderman and all of the west coast members, our prayers are with you.  I can't imagine the threat of losing everything to fires and looters.  Do they let you shoot looters?

If they find any with a .270 hole between their eyes, I'm pleading Sgt. Schultz

                    You are one of our heros . If you guys hadn't kept the High Valley fires contained, they would have burned down the hill to my house. God Bless you and everyone doing this heroic and dangerous work.

Wow, those are impressive aircraft, and what a payload they can carry. What a shame that bureaucratic bullchit (waiting to clear customs) can slow up the process of them getting where they needed. Sometimes our government agency's don't work seamlessly together. :( You would think once they were requested there wouldn't be any obstacles or delays to get where they were needed.

The blame Game has started! The underlying reason for the customs delay is 9-11 However before you call in the big guns someone has to make the call, ie local Gov't (size of the damage to be determined) Hind site is always a great factor in these type of matters.


I'm very sure at some point it will be GW's fault for the whole thing some way or the other. :soapbox:

Here's a pic taken 21 OCt at 220AM as some friends had to evacuate their home in San Marcos (N. of San Diego), you can see their entry gate lit up to get a perspective. The firemen managed to save nearly all the homes on the hill. HOO-RAH for the smoke eaters!!! :2vrolijk_21:

  :(Didn't to get to do much with the Mars today because it showed up so late. Here are some pics of it flying over our place. It sounded like a hundred Harleys comming at you. They are going have to do some work on it tomorrow morning so I hope they can get dispatched quickly to fight the fires.

Spiderman and So.Cal CVO members,

I wish you all the best during this terrible ordeal. The news media is reporting that the winds are are dying down. They are also reporting that some of these fires were set.  A reward has been offered. I hope they catch, convict and sentence these perpetrators. No! Shoot the SOB's that started these fires.
