Lightning has been terrorizing the dry desert surrounding southern Idaho. A few days ago, sparks ignited a blaze near Eagle, a city not far west of Boise. So, I drove to Gowen and took a few shots of the this year's aerial fire suppression effort. Enjoy :)

nice shots! when i lived in KPRC that airport was used as a fixed-wing firefighting base. i remember seeing P-2s, P-3s and the occasional DC-6 or -7 taking off out of there.
Thanks. Ya, the fire was pretty close so roundtrip was about 10 mins. There were actually two P-3s but I managed to catch the same one twice, ha ha. Also a helo and a couple small bombers.

Thanks. The bombers are back in town today and there's a new one. Yellow tail -- yellow markings. Looks pretty P-2ish. I might try to steal a shot of it if I can track it down.
