Photo Notes
The plane pictured below was en route to landing at BJC (Rocky Mountain Metro). The lower part of the fuselage is coated with fire retardant chemical. Flight tracker websites indicate it was returning from the area of the Cameron Fire, near Walden, Colorado, or possibly the area between the north edge of the Cameron fire and the Mullen fire, which had just crossed the Wyoming border into northern Colorado. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N374AC/history/20201001/2313Z/KBJC/L%2039.91340%20-105.12057
