I'd like to thank J. Laval for granting me permission to use his photo in my blog header. The CAL FIRE Pilot's Association has a gallery page with links to a photo gallery, video gallery, as well as specifications for the S2-T air tanker and the OV-10 Bronco air attack/lead (observation) plane.
The image that I am using in my blog header may also be found in the photo gallery page referenced above.
There are some awesome pictures and videos in this gallery, take a few moments to check them out.
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.
