Cool Photo! Awesome C-102 has a hoist now. Bigger more powerful aircraft than the old Green and Orange 102, back in the 80’s. Go 102!

I am / was quite impressed. Coast guard called it off because of foggy weather. Cal fire only focused on saving someone’s life, and did the unthinkable maneuvering only seen once in a lifetime.
