It's only there for an hour.

We figure that's generally long enough to make corrections. In cases like this one it may be an inconvenience, but in general, we feel it's better that everybody knows they need to stand behind what they've posted, as opposed to having the unlimited ability to remove something if the reaction to it isn't what they'd hoped for. The staff can edit things for you at any time if it's a real problem.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm glad I watched it to the very end. There's nothing like the sound of four big radials! :thumbsup

Most Forums let you edit what you have posted,Why would anybody with a website would want to re edit when the poster can do it.Now they have to waste there time,Oh well.
,Ex ,I took down the other video that is better then the one I leave here on the forum,I have to re edit the other video,so a black hole with no video stays there. I wish the would just ad a edit button.

Anyways ,Glad you liked the video ,and thanks for the thumbs up

Like I said, members have an hour to make changes--make corrections to typos, rethink how they've expressed something, or perhaps add another thought or two. That's longer than some forums.

If the staff has to edit something, it's usually because it's inappropriate content, or a rules violation of some kind. If it's something that the member really regrets having posted, like information they later realize shouldn't be made public, we're willing to take care of things.

,Ex ,I took down the other video that is better then the one I leave here on the forum,I have to re edit the other video,so a black hole with no video stays there.

Point taken. Black hole patched over.

….As you would have put it … LOL …. Goggle Conair Firecat ! ….. pictures and their description put accurately ….. I had the opportunity to get a personal tour inside of them when they were at the Tanker Base in Kamloops when my Bird-Dog Neighbour/Buddy was base commander there …. Another amazing Bird that flew many years dousing fires in BC …. and other parts of the continent. …. Conair Water Tankers sent them where ever they were needed ….. we'll see where this thread goes, I'll see if he has some Good pics from out of his Library of 35 yrs of Bird-Dogging

That is so true,I got the scope of scale when the pilot was walking on the wing,I found that clip when I was editing the videos,And did not see it at the time of filming,That clip is in the video.,Can you see the pilot on the wing
