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.

Dromader crash in So. Africa pilot ok
I heard from a couple of sources, including this wildland fire hotlist thread that a Dromader (SEAT) loaded with fuel and water crashed soon after take-off in South Africa. Reports are that the pilot, who was airlifted to a hospital, is ok. The Dromader was one of the aircraft fighting a fire known as the Veldfires near Stanford, South Africa. More information may be found here.
