Chinooks Fly Fire Maneuvers Over Biking Route

While doing LSDs (long, slower, distances) today we came within 200-250' of Chinooks doing fire prevention over dry meadow areas. One flew directly overhead within 75-100' with the water bucket and we feared / thought they were going to drop its contents but they were nice and didn't. The "rotor wash" pushed water out of the bucket like rain and the bucket was the size of a small import car (at least the size of a VW bug).


Today's ride was from Rainier Rd to Yelm and back in 90°. Yowser!
