Lead 52 picked his number as in MAFFS 5 and 2. You might guess he flew for us before he retired and went to the Forest Service.

Tanker 10 has been flying over my house non-stop for the last few months. They regularly refill their retardant at SMX (Santa Maria airport, for you non-pilot types ) I've been meaning to try and get some pictures, but none of them would be as cool as this, so I won't waste my time.
