T-Shirt fundraiser is now live!
https://www.customink.com/fundraising/phs-panther-art-2023-smokejumper-slurry-bomber-project-fundraiser-0156 We had to limit the options to 6 only, so the white hoody is gone, as well as the yellow T-shirt, as those were the least picked by students as well as arfcomers in the poll. There are no youth sizes, or extra-smalls available. This has screwed up our designs in the past, and I'd like to avoid that this year.  On the hoodies, order a size up, as they say they run small!I've got it set to run for 2 weeks. Donation only is available if you don't want a shirt or hoodie. I very much appreciate all the support with our Tshirt drives the last few years. They have been exceptionally successful. We have a goal of 150 shirts sold. We are making about $6 per shirt sold if we sell 150. That would help us raise approximately $1000. Shirts should ship out around the 23rd of March.

Fantastic 1st day Thank you every one who contributed so far.
We have 20 shirts sold and $420 raised so far. Custom ink needs us to change out the tower in our design, as we don't have permission to use it for a fundraiser. The kids grabbed it on line, thinking the clip art would be fine. It's not. I've got the Graphics dept working on coming up with a better version. There will be more details, closer to Sheep Mountain Look out tower, and our own build. |

Near the end of the year, I go out with a dust mop and get up in the lift and hit things. We also have the air compressor to help in areas that need it. The custodial staff is also awesome and helps in the summer to wipe off what they can get to with the lift and ladders. |

Update 2/22
School is closed. But, I'm here.....for a bit. I want to extend a huge THANK YOU to @FB1 and @50-140 FB41 sent us a gift box with two new contour gages in it. These are a nice size for some of our smaller project parts. Very Cool! 50-140 sent us a Puloski tool that will be held by our full-size firefighter.  My morning crew opening them up. They were pretty funny fighting over who got to open the packages.     They quickly started working on the pulaski tool to age and season it a bit.   |

Update 2/22.2 Snow Day update.
It's still cold outside and the wind is impressive. For those who ordered already, hit the new poll.  44 sold and $720 already raised! The small intake up on the starboard side of the cockpit got installed yesterday. The green paint is from the remnants of a lightsaber from long ago in a galaxy classroom far away.  Under flap structure ribs are still being fitted and glued in place on our wing.  Chinese spy balloon getting some paper mache.  Balloons for the Japanese FuGo balloon bombs got here at noon yesterday, and students started working to paper mache over one. As the afternoon progressed and the weather outside deteriorated, students got a bit more mischievious with their application of glue. I saw two noses with glue on them.    The parachutes are still not popular to work on. Hopefully we will be done soon.  Nobody wanted to show their faces while working on them yesterday.  Mural work on the Granite Mountain Hotshots is going well. We also got the outline for Blackwater Creek mural up and ready for details.  My students asked what this pod is called. Any C-130 guys want to help me out here? What is it called, and what is it for?  For @brass  We sanded off the circles on the nozzle yesterday. Paint will hopefully be tomorrow. |

When I was growing up, C-130s didn't have those, their krewes died like men.  Now it's all Star Wars and stuff. It answers a very real problem - modern MANPADs and IR/UV guided AAMs are extremely difficult to break lock on, and Bruce Willis notwithstanding, C-130s don't have ejection seats. Lase the seeker head through its own lens and now yer flares have a much better chance of leading the missile astray. |

55 sold as of tonight and $900 raised. I saw a good bunch of shirts sold to locals today after I posted the link on Facebook. Several former students, parents and a faculty member all supported the effort.
That was really nice to see.

I don't see it in this photo, maybe not installed yet? Search for C-130 laser is an article about AHEL which is a high power laser for directed energy attack to be added to AC-130J gunship line of aircraft. I have no idea but couldn't find any other "in body" laser pods. Could it be cameras to identify drop success or something? I wouldn't think just a thermal/visual camera would need that large of house, though.  On further search, it seems to be fitted to dedicated C-130s set up for firefighting. Looks like a GIANT camera lens in this photo at the bottom of pod.  This one is WY National Guard and still looks like a lens at the end of it with a pretty big gimbal ability. I'm guessing thermal since it seems to be on firefighting C-130 but not on others I'm coming up with, or maybe it's something on the newer ones? With a 'lens cap' on in this photo:

Could be added as "Easter Eggs" now that all the exhibits are getting tablets to do a slideshow on construction of each project and builders and detailed info of the scope and reason for them.
