The Pinedale Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol did some FLIR testing to show our sheriff what it could do. The FLIR is forward looking infra red (camera) that can pick up any heat. We were to have people, a camp fire, a four wheeler running and someone smoking. The smoking thing was the problem, but Alex's daughter brought two cigaretts and smoked them..she about got sick, but she smoked them and the FLIR picked them up.
We drove back to the Half Moon Lake overlook for cell reception to make sure they were still planning the flight despite the weather.
Here we are around the fire..Chelsie was under dressed for the occaision so I gave her my pit coat. That's Katlin, her cousin in the carhart. Bob fanning the fire to get it going.
The ground crew...plus the photographer. About the time they were done, the weather turned off nice.

Better late than never on the weather. Sounds like quite an outing. Didn't know some of those items that were covered in the training.
Interesting
