After posting the link to Bill Waldman's video yesterday, I had intended to continue along these same lines with articles on what makes for an effective retardant drop, and how winds factor in to the retardant drop. I am still doing some background research on these articles so I won't be able to start with this series tomorrow. I do hope to have this background research finished sometime early next week.
In the meantime, stay tuned for tomorrow's article that I am calling Kudos to initial attackers.
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.
