According to what one of the pilots of one of the Texan IIs at Santa Fe told me today, for the first time in his life, he heard a warning for wild life such as this : )
The flight of two was coming from Vance AFB, OK and stopped to refuel in Santa Fe, to continue to Luke AFB, AZ.
The Skycrane is configured for forest fire-fighting, and has been active even today, as there is a fire in the Socorro, NM area.
