That is awesome Hon, that may be the best movie yet. XO
It's remarkable how steady the video and landings are given where the camera is!
This is also an awakening perspective of the danger & lonliness of a hot shot dropped in a small clearing surrounded by forests ablaze...I'll take a spot in the chopper any day!
Thanks to all who do this work
