Now I’m not sure if I’m Planes Anon 1 or 3, but glad you finally saw and enjoyed them!! And the Smokejumpers are Dynamite, Blackout, Pinecone, Avalanche, and Drip, ;-)

You’re Planes Anon 1 if you asked me in 2017 if I’d seen Planes and I said no! and then asked me in 2018 if I’d seen Planes and I said no! You were a persistent little bugger for a two cylinder. Finally I said, all right! It’s 2019! And watched them both during the Daytona 500 weekend. :D

And thanks for the names! I’ll admit they do nothing for me on an individual basis; I like them in aggregate. XDDD Here’s a really fantastic article about the real-life smokejumpers of West Yellowstone! 

Superheroes Are Real by Rachel Monroe

It’s a windy morning in the middle of Dirty August, and dispatch has just informed the jumpers at the West Yellowstone Smokejumper Base that there’s a wildfire out in the Grand Tetons in need of their particular brand of attention. There’s no time to shower, and nowhere to go but straight toward the smoke. The jumpers strap on their ankle braces and stuff candy bars in the pockets of their Kevlar jumpsuits. The ready room vibrates with the contained intensity of people who know they are about to spend the next two weeks doing several very difficult things: parachuting out of a plane at 3,000 feet, battling a half-acre wildfire, trekking through the woods with 100-plus pounds of gear on their backs. There remains just one problem: The rookie is missing.

Real West & The Art of A. C. Zamudio

It’s a great time to be a fan of westerns, in whatever flavor they might come. There’s quite a few exciting titles being released, so much so that I nearly missed out on this one. Monkeybrain has already impressed me with Bandette, and the Amelia Cole TP…
