Photocalls, Meet-Ups and Events / Re: 2022 USFS Workshop
Last post by Jay Beckman - March 09, 2022, 09:31:20 PM
It?s primarily a workshop for the USFS-certified ?Lead In? ships that guide tankers to their drop zones so you?ll get Barons and King Airs but you?ll also often get OV-10s from CalFire along with C-1 Traders (former NAVY COD / ASW platforms)

And then there can be an eclectic mix of actual tankers as well.

They have four or five zones marked in the NOTAM so stuff should be coming and going pretty regularly.

They won?t be dropping within sight of Willie so far as I know.  They are out east of the Sups.
