Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

Firefighting Aircraft Memorial

I have come across this Firefighting Aircraft Memorial in memory of tankers/crews stationed at Ryan Air Attack Base. A friend sent this to me the other day. There is a beautiful poem on the memorial site. I have found these words soothing and I offer it to you.
