Altitudes

Madras, Oregon view map

A view of Mt. Jefferson on the drive up to meet Marcia, Neil, and David.

Dave Smith's recent comment got me looking. He is indeed correct that this
Douglas DC-7 is a fire retardant bomber.

I found a great capture of this particular plane in service, captured by photographer Chris Banyai-Riepl.

Sam, the plane looks like a retardant bomb the BLM use on wild fires. Great image of the mountain and clouds.
