00:47
Yes, and we'll be able to come back out for another 2 h .
00:50
Well, once we get here, we get about an hour on station.
00:53
I just need another air attack by then.
00:55
Copy.

All of the frequencies contact La Grande.

Uh, all the cops are gone.

Okay, we'll be looking for him on the way back to the lake.

02:53
Turn out and a big left circle.
02:55
Okay, copy that. They're doing a right 270 on the line on the drop.
03:00
Now we're just having the new comp right into the next canyon to your right.
03:04
That puts you all the way down Goose Creek.
03:08
Pretty clear there, it's still pretty smoky.
03:14
Yeah, you could swap over, but it's just slightly to your right.
03:17
It's the headwaters all the way down the canyon where we're doing the drop.
03:24
I think it's not terrible.
03:29
It was.
03:32
Yeah, I've heard it.
03:36
Looks like it's a lot less smoky than it was before.
03:41
South end aren't really asking for anything.
03:44
Spot is pretty smoky, but I don't think we're going to work.
03:55
General left to the west, is that right?
03:59
That's what I got.
04:00
All the other guys doing.
04:01
That's what (name withheld) said.
04:02
And then he knew where the Concorde dip is.
04:04
Two and a half miles north, you know.
04:09
Clear, sorry, you'll be clear to drop on five.
04:11
Clear, sorry, clear to drop on five.
04:21
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:23
She just not as heavy up here as I'm used to.
04:26
Oh, sorry, I hauled the lake up on you.
04:30
Good, all good.
04:33
Just had to let a little out, but we're good.
04:35
Yeah, I got that.
04:38
Well, I was about to set now.
04:41
Looks like it's going to be about 500 gallons.
04:43
But they can lie and say they carry more, but whatever.
04:49
Yep.
04:53
Say that again.
04:54
I didn't hear anything.
04:55
Yep, my bad.
04:56
I was tapping her secondary.
04:59
Same target?
05:00
Yes.
05:03
Same target.
05:04
We're gonna go up, I guess, straight in and then drop.
05:08
Climbing left turn, just like we did before.
05:10
Copy.
05:13
That's not just this one, okay? No, definitely kept camp 1st .
05:16
I think he said a 34335 heading.
05:22
Yeah, 345 .
05:24
I thought.
05:26
Oh yeah, that makes more sense.
05:27
I thought 345 .
05:33
Helicopter, helicopter, boy.
05:36
All right.
05:37
Come back up to fifty-five, I reckon.
05:40
Okay.
05:47
Oh yeah, that's fine.
05:52
All right, so we're just past the helicopter now.
05:56
Okay.
06:26
But Raycom was disappearing and I didn't change any settings.
06:31
Yeah, I think he gets how long they last.
06:34
Okay, it's been a while.
06:36
A couple fires, but won't be a problem today.
06:47
Myself
06:52
