Seen Over Your House Today

[reddfoxx]

Our usual traffic in Columbus, Ohio is commuter jets and helos (police and medical,) so when I heard a radial rumble I was craning my neck to find it.  Just a B-29.  Assuming it is Doc on its way to an event in Delaware.  Perhaps making a fuel stop here at CMH.

Wow, not something you see every day! 

[reddfoxx]

Yep, it caught my attention with the sound and then- wow. 

[Old Wombat]

Yeah, "Just a B-29". Su-ure!

Piaggio P.180 Avanti, they have a very unique sound.

[reddfoxx]

Yeah, the Avanti does too.  Head-turning. 

Old Wombat: I knew it was something interesting, WW2 almost certainly, but was surprised it was a 29.  Not doing anything in this area.  Could have been making a fuel stop, although it wasn't really low enough I don't think.  Just transiting?  Had an event in Delaware later that day (the state, not the town near me.)

Seen over my place the last couple of days:

Yesterday;

Leaving, possibly heading to a fire to the N or NE -


Today;

Coming in the re-load with water at the Totness dam -


Leaving, possibly heading to a different fire to the N or NE, or circling around onto a less direct path to her base at Adelaide Airport -



Don't know where the fire was yesterday, but I think it was dealing with a grass fire today at Aldgate (to my WNW, toward Adelaide).

On a couple of, if not the coldest days so far this year.

That's a VERY long tow rope!

It seems like there's no such thing as "fire season" any more.  Just a year-round burn hazard

That's a VERY long tow rope! 

Saves having to fly into the flames to put them out.
