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.

Flying
Thomas and Cherry from Tali Y D on Vimeo.
I am reminded of what flying is really about. Every once in a while I see an Eagle or a Red Tailed Hawk when I am out on a scenic airplane flight. In fact, I had two such experiences this summer. In both cases they were Eagles, one time a pair of Eagles. We humans have to work at flying, To quote a pilot friend of mine, "to the birds it is just flying."
More videos of birds of prey in flight:
Thanks to a good friend who sent me a link to this wonderful video of an owl in flight.
