That is really fantastic!<br /><br />Incredible flight pattern mapping.<br /><br />I tried to be on the lookout for it today, and thought I heard it around 4:00 p.m. approaching the Fullerton airport, but I missed seeing whichever craft it was.<br /><br />The tapered red housing on the rear prop really had me baffled. But perhaps it was an illusion from a paint job.<br /><br />Thank you so much for your help. Pretty exciting stuff. It really did look like an aircraft from another time period.

The rear housing leading up to the prop was thin tapered like on the Robinson 22 and 44 you show here. Much quieter than a military Chinook. Looked older, like something from the 1960s. I've never seen it before. I'd like to know what it is.

My guess is that a donor had a well-intentioned idea, moved forward with it on their own, presented it to LTB and they said "great, let's print it!" without thinking that much about it.<br /><br />I would also guess that part of the reason they kept her out of the loop was because last year LTB tried to auction some of Meatball's fur, and Sarah (who is well versed in laws governing wildlife in the state) pointed out that selling the fur was illegal under state law. LTB's intent was good, but they moved forward without doing their research and had to publicly pull the fur auction. <br /><br />http://articles.glendalenewspress.com/2012-11-08/news/tn-818-1108-auction-of-meatball-memorabilia-to-go-one-sans-lock-of-fur-sanctuary-announces_1_bobbi-brink-furry-fur-meatball-christmas-tree-ornamentScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395219854435584426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847904405428185680.post-4949672944242609472013-11-21T05:44:18.588-08:002013-11-21T05:44:18.588-08:00Scott, thank you for your well written account.

Lifesavers Wild Horse Sanctuary is a fant...Patty, <br /><br />Lifesavers Wild Horse Sanctuary is a fantastic place, believe me, if there was anything wrong with it I wouldn't volunteer my time there. What I'm saying is this. You are the first GFAS representative I have encountered, and I'm appalled by your behavior, especially given the fact that you are the Executive Director. <br /><br />Sally, as a representative, don't you have better things to do than to come onto a news blog and post rants that try and insinuate that Sarah Aujero is somehow to be likened to people who abused and exploited animals that ACTUALLY suffered? It's exceptionally unprofessional of you and may put your reputation and under the critical eye. <br /><br />This is between Sarah Aujero and LTB. I understand that you want to back them up and I'm sure they are close friends, but with that in mind, I can't help but notice that you didn't remark at all about how the bear is still in its same small temporary enclosure after a year of MORE than successful fund raising. Why aren't you holding LTB to task on this front?<br /><br />I see this kind of thing all the time in animal rescues. Everyone believes that since they are involved with a rescue and by virtue of dedicating their time to saving animals that they are without blame no matter what they do. There are a lot of well meaning people out there working animal rescues, but a lot of rescues with the best intentions can often times get into a rut of thinking that any type of critique against them and how they run their business is a direct attack against their organization and the animals they care for. Thus, they do the typical vilification and intimidate that person into leaving. (Thus Sarah is now not allowed to see the bear because she DARED to hold LTB accountable and wasn't going to cave into their bullying behavior). This is Los Angeles, if LTB thinks they're going to muscle someone out of their copyright in this city, you got another thing coming. <br /><br />LTB not only needs to apologize to Sarah for their ridiculous behavior, but they need to collaborate with her to help continue the donations coming in for Meatball.<br /><br />Right now, LTB has failed to appropriate and manage funds in a transparent and responsible way. The bear is still in his temporary enclosure despite successful fundraising. That, honestly, is the end of the discussion. <br /><br />-Wild Horse Advocate<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847904405428185680.post-57750197900827967532013-11-19T18:22:23.404-08:002013-11-19T18:22:23.404-08:00Patty, how much does GFAS charge to accredit nonpr...Patty, how much does GFAS charge to accredit nonprofit animal sanctuaries?
