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.

Curiosity has landed
The image of Curiosity making her desent to Mars with her parachute was taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRise Camera. The video is a compilation of stills taken by Curiosity as she descended to the surface of Mars.
NASA's Rover, Curiosity landed on Mars early about 1:30 AM EDT. Yes, I watched the live feed from NASA TV on the web. For more on Curiosity, go to this NASA webpage on the Curiosity mission.
