Larry Kraus sent me some photos of T-62 over the Memorial Day weekend of T-62 undergoing maintenance in preparation for the summer fire season. Of interest are the very large (500-ton?) jacks used under the main landing gear and under each wings. Needless to say, these jacks are not carried on T-62!
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.
