In a actual 'forest fire', the aircraft should be much higher. There are trees and uneven terrain. Crop dusting a rust free Cali, SUV is a waste.

Am I the only one who died a little when that proud 1st gen Expedition got trashed with the red goo crap going 500 mph?

They should've put a Hyundai Santa Fe / Subaru Forester target or something (or any other common soccer mom mobile)... and given the Expy to an enthusiast to restore and put back on the road. :(


In 10-15 years, these 1st gen Expeditions will be like the Broncos of the 1990s : rare as hen's teeth in good condition and commanding a nice premium, if you can find one ($$$) !


(still kicking myself for not buying that pristine 1994 Bronco for $5000 in 2004!)

Are you always so critical? No one wants to be that miserable. Come on and relax man, just let your imagination run with it....it's fun! We all know that this isn't a typical scenario but it was fun to watch anyway.....course it would have been MUCH more fun to see a Tahoe or Suburban get pasted, but that's just me!

I watched a crop duster Friday evening while driving my convertible....he was doing dead stick vertical turns to drop right back on the edge of the field....pretty technical flying...of course I prob should have been watching the road at 110mph....but it was a nice drive with no traffic!

If you still feel twisted, we can prob get you laid?



As always, I'm just teasing.....

Willow Grove Pa. Willow Grove Airport water contamination lawsuits against the US Navy.

Wild fire destroys hundreds of thousands of acres of land, home, businesses, or drop some retardant down in hopes it stops the spread. I bet if it was your house about to be taken by wildfires with all you’ve ever owned in it, your entire livelihood and all your memories youve made in it, you’d opt for some retardant.
