Pics snapped today at a small airport, sent to me today from a friend down there. Says these have been at the airport for 2 days.

Billings Flying Service, from Billings, MT.

A long way from home.

Chinook (or similar) bird,plus a fuel tanker.

No active large fire in S. NM.

3 weeks ago there was a large fire in Herefore AZ area.

My friend was wondering if someone is anticipating something.
