My home airport is about 15 miles from the Valley Fire down here in San Diego County . I went out of town for the weekend and all hell broke loose .
Federal Fire Choppers ( Blackhawks ), National Guard (Blackhawks/CH46 ), Cal Fire ( Bell 212/414) , San Diego fire choppers ( Bell 4-4) San Diego Gas and Electric ( Erickson Air Crane / Blackhawk / Bell 212 ) San Diego County Sheriff ( Bell 414 )
Amazing show of air power .
One of the parallel runways is closed and is being used as a staging area for refueling .
It may be that way for a few days to a few weeks depending on how long it takes to get control
I went down today and did a few T and G’s to keep sharp in the Pacer . Due to smoke their wasnt a lot of good options for anything else . Marine layer had the Coast out of bounds too
Anybody else being affected at your airport ?
