I do see the flare up there that Hilo is about to go drop on that.
01:19
What we're doing is you got the Ridge Road where it's bumping up against it.
01:23
Yep, up top there.
01:24
And out towards the end of that road you see a structure with a big open area of dirt? I do, yeah, just below that structure.
01:32
And if you tag on and run that down slope from that dirt, you'll see where it's flare it up on the bottom.
01:39
See that, there's a little bit of retardant below that.
01:42
You want me to just run it from the dirt and try and tie into that retardant? I'm like to try to create a little catcher's middle to get the helicopters out of the way.
01:49
You got the target? I have the target and I have the helo on his way out from the drop.
01:53
And I'm thinking you're going to have to go a little heavy coverage level to get in through that little bit of the timber snubs I'm thinking of four.

What are your thoughts? That's what I was thinking as well.
02:02
And you see the other helicopter down low?

him off the drop and then one that was down in the dip that was kind of red.
02:10
Rob, I'm gonna hold up at the dip for your exit if that works.
02:12
Works. Division wrong, you know.
02:14
Oh, I see that, yeah, that fires, so I'll start at that dirt and then just head outside the fire and maybe put a little right English on it at the end, see if I can get it to connect to that stuff at the bottom.
02:25
Is that Tanger 103?
02:26
That sounds like a plan, I'm going to get the helicopters held for him.
02:29
I'll do one more turn over the top and make sure of everything and I'll be ready to go.
02:32
Thank you. That's all I've got, so you have anything else.
