Six Airfields in one afternoon: 9/12/09
Getting to six fields in one day kinda fell into my lap as I caught some of the smaller airfields along I90 through eastern Washington - then realizing I already had a small handful I figured I'd pay the south Seattle triptych a visit too to round out 6...tried to get 8 but couldn't find 2 out in the woods. Over 260 miles of driving today.

#1 is a USDA Forest Service AH-1. A cobra without the fangs.

Yup. I was quite surprised to see it - I didn't know there were civilian versions. Doesn't like right without a few "toys" attached...
A few more:

Yes there are a number of them being used around the country. The Florida Dept. of Agriculture, Forestry Division uses them
for fighting wildfires. They are dubbed "FireSnakes".

Nice. Are these shot with slide film by any chance?
