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.

Boise pilot remembers those who died in T-11 crash
My good buddy, Tom Janney, remembers those who died in the T-11 crash and offers some words on what it is like to fly tankers over wildfires. You also hear some words by the staff of the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. I regret that I am unable to embed the video here, but please, please do go this report from KIVI TV in Boise Idaho where you can read a short article and watch the video of Tom's interview.
Tom, I'm so proud to know you and call you a friend!
