Jon there was a blast deflector on site and it was used during every startup. we where flying bobcats which have the turbines blowing at an angle toward the ground. taxing and takeoffs will cause grass to dry up change colors from the exhaust.

one of the three ships had smoke and unfortunately during two take-offs the smoke fluid ignited during throttle up and caused two bad burn spots in the grass. this was not intensional

We have had discussions on this and we are thinking of ways of minimizing this in the future. Please convay to the members that we appologize for any inconvience that we have placed upon them. if there is anything we can do please feel free to PM me.
