  1. Not bad photos from a former UnderSheriff ! LOL Seriously, nice work on the fire side sir

  2. Flew DC-10’s but never THAT low except on TO or Lnding! Impressive drop. Always wonder how the wt & bal must effect the trim right after the drop! Not a very good time for a “runaway trim” problem to manifest itself! Yikes awmighty!
