Forgot I shot this yesterday….156 interval images @ 1 minute apart looking towards Hunters Valley Mountain as the smoke was drifting to the south.

Flipping through the 156 on the computer I noticed the below.  Can you see an aircraft in each of the below images?

(BELOW) Birds or that flight of several helicopters from Castle ?

Just the ones I could see because there was a heck of a lot more air traffic than that!!!

CALFIRE UPDATE 1330 hrs

1546HRS:

30% was fantastic news and judging by the increased visibility in this area (although hardly representative of what may be going on miles away) I am apprehensively (such fires have many twists and turns) optimistic that percentage (30%) will increase with the next official CALFIRE update.  Let’s pray it does.  Thank you all for your service.
