For tourism flights that aren't going to dock with a station, the forward hatch should be replaced by a "mini cupola" window module for Earth observation, protected under the nosecap for launch and landing.

As rainy season makes its appearance out west, most of the CalFire fleet is home at McClellan airfield near Sacramento. This is likely the largest fleet of flyable S-2s and OV-10s left in the world. The two recently acquired combat vet OV-10Gs are in the lineup.

Yup. I've never seen one like it.
The Central and Southern Sierra likely have their largest snowpack in at least a century and potentially even longer.
For example, Blue Lakes, California, the longest-reporting snow station in California dating back to 1918, has recorded its largest snowpack ever.
