Shahaylie Smarr got this photo of lightning in the distance as a crew worked around a Huey.With the abundant lightning in the Northwest United States over the last few days it’s a good bet that helicopters and their crews are going to be busy.
Todd McKinley sent us these photos taken Saturday, August 10, 2019 in Oregon. He said the AS350 B3 was at Ritter Butte in northern Grant County and at a nearby fire in the Ritter/Long Creek area. The Huey was at the Grant County Regional Airport Helibase in John Day.
Thanks Todd!
