Anyone work for Carson?

Carson has had a contract with the Sierra National Forest the past couple of years. Last year they had 762 an S-61 flying out of the Mariposa airport (up the road from me). I took a bunch of pics last year (for a future build) and the crew was really great.

I've found most of the aircrews on wildland fires are really nice, I got pics of several K'Max's last year, Siller Bros (S-64's) & Erickson aircrane (S-64's), Rogers (mostly 212's) all were great about giving me access to get the photos I needed.

As one of those ground guys in yellow and green, we appreciate the air support. I don't even mind getting wet occasionally (unless you picked it up from a sewage pond ) 

ewwww......

I had to work on a couple of the suction hoses for the Rogers 212 Solar tanks that had some , um, scum in them from such ponds....

Ick!

It didn't come from a sewer pond, just a bucket full of muck from the bottom of the Okeefenokee.  I know there weren't any gators in it but I can't be sure about those nasty turtles.
