Lots of traffic today on:
119.9 am air attack
122.975 am A2A, A2G rotary wing
Saw several air tankers doing drops around 12 noon then went into Helena and went up NW past Kalispell.
Heard one of the air attack pilots talking to his relief, relief pilot said that there are numerous new fires on the Western
part of Montana. Looking at MTFireinfo site it shows 12 new starts between western state line and Kalispell.
I would guess that most of the tankers will be over there tomorrow.
The rotary wing aircraft will still probably be on this Deep Creek Fire.
