Yesterday while giving a ride I took these pics of a fire that was being worked by one bomber and a helicopter for a quick resolution. The traffic was backed up for quite a ways.

Gave the Panoche Inn owner, Larry, his first glider ride. He wanted to view his place in the valley. Front seat of the HGC Schweizer 2-32, N87R, was the perfect place for that perspective. We released from tow and climbed to 7200', flew around "his" valley and only landed because the glider was needed for a lesson and Larry had to get back to work!
