Where I live, two fire fighters were out ATV'ing and unfortunately died last week ... Here's the story:

Fire Trucks and other law enforcement joined a precession in honor of them. It was a great turn-out.

 

9 local helicopters joined the precession. I flew in the chase R-44 and took video and stills.. Here are some of the stills... I am creating a memorial for the families and friends..... out of the stills and HD footage..

 

There was a fleet of 2 Hughes 500 C models, 1 Hughes 500 D model, 1 Jet Ranger, 3 R-44 Raven IIs, 1, R-44 Astro (I was in this one) and an S-61R that was flying the good old Red, White and Blue. A flag that measured about 75 feet in length. It was quite a site....
