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.

Neptune P2V declares emergency with safe landing
I don't know much detail yet,
The Missoulian and Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today are reporting that one of Neptune's P2V tanker declared an emergency and made a safe landing at Missoula. Early reports are that they may have suffered a hydraulic failure.
Updated April 25, 7 AM EDT. The P2V was a training aircraft and was not used to fly fires.
