Flew to Choteau today to bring a 182 to a friend fighting the fires west
of Augusta. Really smoky from about 100 miles south of Great Falls all
the way to Choteau. I was at 12.5 and the vsby was only about 25-30,
descending west of Great Falls it picked up to 30+. One of the
firefighting choppers crashed while we were there, here's a link for that.
