Fire Tower Resupply partIII
Posted: Fri Apr 26, 2013 2:34 pmContinued from partII
Some more heli sling-load ops. This time we're taking food, water, fuel and some explosives for
blasting a high risk avalanche area near the lookout cab.
Lifting straight up to let the line reel off the ground......
Cargo attached....first stop is Park Butte Fire Tower near Concrete, WA
That's Baker Lake in the distance.....a beautiful area in the real world.
Comin' in really slow and easy.......it's huge pain in the butt if you get the load swinging around.
Mt. Baker in the background.
Releasing load.....no need to land here.....
Off to my second stop........a real nice view of Mt. Baker and the Three Sisters peaks to the North.
