Got home around 3:00 yesterday afternoon and shortly after there was a very loud and repeated racket caused by aircraft on Lake St. John. Looking out I was soon able to count 3 pontoon style and 1 airboat style bright yellow planes repeatedly taking off and landing, not getting much altitude. I ran the registration on two of them (internet CAN be informative) and found they were MNR waterbombers. Because the cycle time of take off and land was so short I figured it was just an exercise.

After listening for 4 hours and seeing this fascinating event continue, I email my buddy in the MNR to ask what might be happening. Shortly after I sent this email, the following showed up:

Hope there were no injuries or losses!
