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.

More details on the wing crack in a P-2 tanker
Some of you might be interested in reading the article that Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today wrote last Saturday following up on the crack found in one of Neptune Aviation's P-2's. Bill reports on (and provides a link to) a news release from the American Helicopter and Aerial Firefighting Association where Dan Snyder of Neptune Aviation provides a little more detail on the process that Neptune went through after they discovered the wing skin crack.
