Wow!; that must have been amazing!
I'll bet you wished you had your camera along to capture that spectacle. I sort of wish you had too (so you could scan it and share it with the rest of us!)
Those old "Buffs" are pretty amazing.

I had Uncle's camera along. I was there shooting an accident site, so I couldn't have taken either my camera or a photo of the Buffs. Darn it. It was amazing, indeed. Kinda scary, too. They were maybe 50 feet off the ground, and firewalled, about half a mile away or so. (hard to judge distances downhill, and particularly hard in the desert) It's also been something like 27 years ago, but I still remember it. It was definately a "WOW" moment.
