flight tracker showed ot in Soviet Afghanistan type camoflauge, and full complement of de-milled rocket launchers under wings. Have seen this bird in lots of movies.

Since it sounds really different from western choppers, knew before I saw it that it would be a unique bird

SCE IMPLEMENTS PSPS
Bear Valley Electric Service (BVES) is notifying customers that Southern California Edison (SCE) has implemented a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) affecting one of BVES supply lines. If SCE de-energizes this line, BVES customers will not experience an outage due to redundancy in the transmission lines. However, this condition does create the potential for large scale outages should one of the other transmission lines experience an outage during this PSPS event. This precaution is due to forecasted high winds and dangerous fire conditions. BVES continues to monitor the conditions and will keep customers informed of any changes.

A few of you are missing the message completely. It's not a criticism of PSPSs - it's about NOTIFICATIONS that are inaccurate. Notifications that say we're at risk of an outage on Thursday, but instead it happens on Wednesday. Or they announce that a possible outage might happen between 12 noon and 9pm, but they cut the power at 4AM that day.

Remember, folks? Both of those happened very recently and will likely continue to wreak havoc unless (or until) the power companies implement a better strategy.

Yeah, we get it that PSPSs must happen. But come on, power providers, get your estimates up to speed!
bullet Airport Razz on Wednesday 13 August 2025 - 17:42:31
Bosun, just having the generator is only half the solution and even then only if you are home at the time. Now to train the doxie squad how to start the darn thing and switch the panel over . Those auto start and switch over systems are great, just don't have 4K to sink into one at the moment. And when I do get home, drag the thing out, hook up what needs to be hooked and lo and behold, its usually for naught as the power pops on just as I get the engine running
