This week’s Plane & Pilot Photo Of The Week is a commentary on the unprecedented damage wrought by wildfires in the American West. The pic shows a tongue-in-cheek geo-tag scrawled on the skin of a Cessna Citation Excel by some unknown Graffiti artist. The photographer, who asked not to be named, shared it with Plane & Pilot!thanks!
