First the fires in Colorado, now Utah. I can't catch a break. But at least there are good photo ops...
Check the paint job on this bird. Try entering that in a contest.

Yup, pretty nice. I have quite a few pics of ARNG Blackhawks used to fight forest fires. They all look pretty rough. They use a water-based, hi-vis paint on them to make them easily identifiable. It fades and runs pretty bad. Great pic.

The challenge would be to make it look exactly that bad.

Great pic Robert, those guys to it tough.

I've got a walkaround of the entire bird including the Bambi and the hoist. PM me.
