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.

TBM Avenger - part 3 - Firefighting
I believe that both of the TBMs shown in these two short videos were Forest Protection Limited TBM's. The forums on the War Birds Information Exchange has a good thread on the TBM Avenger with lots of good photos and history of TBM's that were used in firefighting. At the time I wrote this, the tread was six pages long, go here.
Enjoy!
