- October 19: Engine failures with happy endings
- October 21: 40-year veteran air-tanker pilot speaks
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.

Recall that I wrote here that I had to take some more time to do some background research. If you want to refresh your memory on what I was writing about you might want to go back and read these posts:
