I took this photo not knowing that a year later on 23 January 2020 three great men I'd met would perish in the crash of this aircraft (by then N134CG), fighting horrendous fires after the aircraft impacted terrain and burst into flames near Cooma, north-east of the Snowy Mountains in Australia. This is a tribute to those men who gave all for the good of another country. We thank them for their service.
