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.

In memorium of tankers/crews
This video tells the story in song of Tanker 123-- PB4Y-2, N7520C and her crew who crashed while fighting the Big Elk Fire near Estes Park, Colorado on July 18, 2002.
I offer this in memory of all who have died in crashes fighting wildland fires. May you fly with favorable tail winds, soaring in the thermals with the eagles.
