It's that time of year again. This was from taken my upstairs bedroom window. The fire seen in the photo -just over the roof-line of my neighbor's house- is 25 miles away.
While going through the Internet reading about this latest bunch, I came across this .pdf file of Firefighting aircraft which I found interesting.

Everything well North of me this time and no Santa Ana winds, but that said, makes it hard to make the water drops because the smoke is directly overhead.
I don't believe that it is affecting LAX operations, at least as of yet.
