Crop Dusting with Helicopters

Frank
Got out 225 acres when my agronomist drove up to tell me of a nasty
storm headed our way from Fargo. I got in 100 more when it was getting
black to the west and the base. I called and asked where the rain was
and it was at the base so i quit and headed back in. MANnnnnnI have
never seen so much cloud to ground lightening in my life. I diverted
north to go around it and the rain began flooding. Was debating landing
and waiting it out, or going on 10 miles. Then I figured the only thing
was the lightening and a hit on the ground would be just as bad as in
the air so I kept going. Managed to get mostly around the storm but it
sure raised hell nearby with winds up to 70mph and local flooding. Now
its all blown by, blue skies and we're going back to work until dark.
YeeeHawww

Who is the guy who has the maintenance place over near the NG ramp with
that old C54? sitting there...Tom...? He flew with us from time to time
down in Delhi. Did you know the guy who crashed in Firebaugh with the
turbine thrush back in Feb? John Shanahan? He was a close friend of
mine and a good pilot. damned shame and he left a couple young
daughters.

Good thing you wern't sending a special message to the Missus.

In my neck of the woods.... Alberta, the Southern part of the Province
is having it's second go around with severe flooding and parts of
numerous communities have had to be evacuated.

Up in the Northern part where I live in Edmonton we have sunny skies
today but also a slight possibility that parts of our city could be
flooded because of the problems down South. Don't forget in our neck of
the woods... the rivers run North.
