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.

T-55 lands without left main gear, all ok
There was a second incident involving a P-2V tanker today. Minden's T-55 made a belly landing landed at Reno Nevada after her left main gear did not descend. Bill Gabbert reports on the T-55 incident here with links to a Reno NV News 4 report with photos of the aircraft.
Correction (June 8, 2012): T-55 did not make a belly landing, she landed on her right gear and nose gear, go to my June 8 post for the video.
