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.

Up close with the AT-802 with the help of Queen Bee: AT-802F cockpit

Here are some shots of the cockpit of the AT-802F courtesy of the wonderful folk at Queen Bee! Note that this a single-seat cockpit. A word on the AmSafe Airbag Harness, as I understand it this harness will deploy an airbag, for more information go here.
