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: About flying fires
In my wonderings on the web recently, I found a couple of articles on how the AT-802's are used for flying fires. I think that they are both appropriate for this series, so I am sharing them with you. In the first article (from SWAviator online), a twenty-year veteran fire fighters gets up close and personal with the AT-802. The second article is from The National Agricultural Aviation Association, and you will hear from SEAT Contractors and BLM officials about how SEATs are used with a focus on the AT-802.
Here is another drop from an AT-802, this time on a fire in Croatia.
