Another Lockheed P2V Neptune crashed this afternoon in the Oquirrh Mountains between Stockton and Tooele, Toole County, Utah. It was on route from Missoula, Montana to Almogordo, NM when it crashed. All three crew members died in the crash. While I have seen media reports where the names of the deceased are identified, I am going to hold off on the names for awhile out of respect for the families.
My thoughts and prayers are with the families, friends, and colleagues of the crew members.
May you fly in favorable tail winds...
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
