Amazing view of two classic AC that I grew up seeing. FT Rucker had these 54s all over the place, and I would see nat metal F-100Fs fly over with firebee drones sometimes.

It was neat to see. When they started flying away, the F-100 started to spin...

Cool shot. I've seen civilian CH-54's used in firefighting and logging operations.

There was a water bomber based at Falcon Field in Mesa AZ for many years...

I think they still use them in California.

Can you explain to me how they make money from logging with helicopters? Are the trees very special or?
If you know...

They're used to haul logs from remote areas that you can't access by truck. They can carry several logs at a time to the trucks to take them to the sawmills.

I watched it on Discovery, and it seems odd...

It makes perfect sense.

Of course they wouldnΒ΄t do it, if it wasnΒ΄t any money in it. IΒ΄m sure it isnΒ΄t for making paper, there has to be something special with the wood.

I think it's for lumber. Other than that, it's just ordinary wood.

Goodness! What an unusual pic! The CH looks like those old Soviet choppers!

See if you can find a photo of the piston powered prototype based on the Mohave airframe. It was unusual!

Wow, I bet. Weird perhaps, rather than "unusual"?
