Comment by Mr. VanGrunsven :
"Yesterday evening, Tuesday 30 November, I returned home from my trip to the Huskie logging operation. It was a fantastic trip!!! I arrived at the operations base about 8:30 to find only two guys there, the Huskies could be heard in the distance, hard at work already for over an hour. I right away drove up the hill toward the work area. Soon I could see one Huskie not far away approaching the first log landing area. It was N556D with pilot Bill Mitchell at the controls. In the distance I could see 97W, the only 2 working Huskies in the world on this day and visible in one viewing without moving my eyes, fantastic, I knew this was going to be a fantastic day."
