	Old Wings - Airtankers in action: Parks Highway Fire 2006
		The Parks Highway is lined with trees, so we couldn't see exactly what it was doing, but this certainly appeared to be a "birddog" plane (called ASM in the USA, for Aerial Supervision Module), scouting the fire and determining where the drop lines for the big airtankers should be.
		At this moment the Parks Highway Fire is still about 16 km (10 miles) away, but two days later it would burn the trees in the background.
		As it later turned out, the Parks Highway Fire had started only a few hours before we were stopped, and was still rather small when we were there.
