I've been doing some low level work for Gulf Coast Research 80-90 miles off shore. On our last flight we covered about 30 miles of what looked like organge or yellow streaks in the water on the surface. I have no idea what it was and neither did the PhD I was flying with. The stuff is out there and the MSDS does look a lot like the same stuff in 409.

I guess you guys are up north, its a whole different story down here.I'm going to sleep tonight to the aroma of something like a giant fart.Its a mess.I can't even head to the beaches i learned to swim in without some contracted police officer telling me to stay away from the water, which by the way is not green or blue, but yellow.

I'm pretty sure you need a type rating for the 130.And for the short contract i'm positive they won't sponsor that.

And for the fart smell, Corpus, Beaumont, Galveston, and I am sure many other gulf ports smell like that all the time. I will never forget the day I first stepped off a plane in CRP and thought, "What is that smell?"

I moved to Corpus Christi in 2000. Out on the island, some of hotels had surf reports: water temp, wave height, and TAR RATING. Guess what, tar balls happen all the time. Oil naturally seeps up through the ocean bottom and forms them. When I lived in Ohio, there were places where oil seeped out at the surface (the first time I saw it was at one of the state parks in the hills).
