I love it - you're flying a water bomber, putting out forest fires, spending Gawd knows how many hours a day in an environment full of smoke (from the forest fire), yet the MNR will probably fire on the spot any driver that dares seek the soothing comfort of a cigarette halfway through a 16 hour plus duty day.
Now you know why I left Canada, I just can't put up with that PC ****. Africa - I love it. Light up a Player's under the wing while they're refulling if you want, no-one bothers with the little details when everyone's starving. Mind you, there are other hazards, like getting shot down, but that's another story altogether.
Did you know Bob Grant? I had dinner with him in Zurich Wednesday.
