  Nothing better on our Hotshot crew than coming into fire camp with our hard hats coated pink from your phos-check drop! Love you guys!!

  737-800 US cargo ground crew here. Keep your foot inside that cart when it's moving. That's a really bad habit that will not end well. Ask me how I know. LOVE THE 737!

  Love seeing you guys flying over my house either to the fire or coming back gives me comfort knowing what you do and how amazingly accurate you guys get. Thank you for your hard work.

  Very nice, I like how you guys are always watching what is going on and adjusting your plans with the changing conditions so you lesson your chances of being surprised. By the time you are coming in for your drop, you have a good sight picture of exactly where you fit in the overall puzzle going on.  Good equipment, good training and good planning. Great job.

  Shawn, my son Bobby told me about this video, and said he and you worked together in Tooele in 2013, said you were a really nice guy and working then to be a pilot on a tanker. Nice to see you accomplished your dream! He is well, working in BLM West HQTrs at Boise.

  Shawn brother…….imagine stumbling across this video randomly this morning and seeing you as the star of the show. I hope you’re still wearing your seatbelt low and tight like Gavin wears his Speedo.  Keep kickin’ ass my man.

  Good to see the former N608SW living its best life instead of being parted out.<br><br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It was with Southwest for 22 years and probably had the fewest number of cycles and hours of the -300s that were retired in 2017.

  So this plane is being used in the US for their summers and back to Oz for their summer.
