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.

Martin Mars in action
I've been busy this week with a couple of projects and other life events. So, I have dug through my stored videos from youtube and found this video from the 2009 Station Fire of the Martin Mars loading water and than making a drop on Mt. Wilson Observatory. I had the privilege of watching some footage of the Martin Mars last summer from a live stream out of one of the LA television stations. She is beautiful airplane, one of only two of a kind. I could watch her for hours. Enjoy!
