He flies a fire fighting tanker. He just got a call to get to TX. He'll make some good money this week. His assigned ride is a Dash 8, modified for the job. He said they stripped everything bigger than a toothpick to carry more payload.

I don't know the name of his employer. They're based in Spokane, WA.
A while back they asked him about going to a big fire in Australia. He refuses to get a covid shot and they won't let him in the country. I totally agree with him on this one.

It's my understanding that the Dash 8 has been flying for 30 years and there's never been a fatal crash. They have one of the best safety records in the business.

God Bless Him for not taking the shot. I didn't either. Your son is a pure blood.
As a followup, this was shot yesterday. Our SIL is flying the 3d plane you see. It shows a Dash 8 a couple drops later. I think that's him again. He said it's a wild ride. Besides the intense heat creating wicked thermals, when he makes the drop, the plane shoots up after losing the weight. This is flat land. He says it gets exciting in the mountains.
