Black Hawk in 2007 Merriwether Fire and Sky Crane

This picture used in my avatar was in the Army National Guard Magazine and was taken by my daughter in the Merriwether Fire in 2007 Near Helena Montana in a lighting caused fire that eventually burned 40,000 acres. Attached are more picturs including a "Sky Crane" behind my house at the neighbors. Also on Conversations Forum under Merriwether Fire.
