Notes:

seen here putting on a show for those who came from far and wide to see "The King" in action at a training day for those associated with aircraft handling within the NSW Rural Fire Service. This run dropped the other half of the already dumped 4500lt (Capacity 9000lt). No wonder they moved Glenn and I, being hit by that much water wouldn't be fun at all! Insurance would have got me a 20D though, bugger!
