I'll be sure to give a detailed report on how Dale does on his first landing in the mighty Orion....:nana2:. Also, I'm hoping we expand over the next few years which will bring more opportunities here in the future.Hey, women of JC---is it just me or are the 2 very best type of men pilots and firefighters?
Dale, I'm so happy for you and am sure you'll love it and do well! Just be sure to keep Michael in check, will ya!

Can someone video the landing (from outside) if possible? If it is a good one, post it here?
Again, congrats Dale!:rawk:
Aint nothing like dumping a load.
It's the red clay JATO! (You dump a 25K load and see what happens):nana2::yup::yup:
Serious question now... Michael... how does the Orion react when you drop your load?

The retardant weighs 9-9.5 lbs per gallon, and we can carry up to 3000 gallons but we are restricted per contract to only 2550, so you can imagine. Hopefully we will eventually put the -14 engines on, which is a lot more power.
You can control the coverage levels, so only at the highest coverage level will you feel the big pitch up, which is always a good thing when headed down a canyon.
