I'll be out there racing on Sunday... be it against people, or against the clock!

I shave my head because it's a lot easier to take care of, and looks better than my white-boy fro... it's not to look like someone else, to fit into a group, or because I'm balding.

spandex and clip-on shoes are awesome!
@yukon_river, I hope you're joking!

@ grass -
I think you're under the impression that the fixed wing aircraft can stop a fire immediately, and you obviously have no concept of the terrain involved.
The bombers actually put down lines of retardant outside the perimeter of the fire, so when the fire gets to that point, it will be slowed down to allow hand crews in to create a fire break. Whereas the helicopters drop water on the hot spots to avoid potential flareups. The DC-10, or the "super tanker" as you put it, is basically doing the same thing as the C-130s, only covering a greater distance. I hope this clears some things up for you!
On that note, Thank you firefighters!

I've never before found the sound of 10 chainsaws buzzing around bedtime to be so soothing! Thank you firefighters!

Binky, there is an area there with gravel.... but lately it's been filled with machines, and I'm not sure it's designed to be a runaway truck ramp.
