Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

Smokejumpers in Alaska

I found this cool video just now on youtube looking for videos. It was shot in June 2012 over the course of three hours as Smokejumpers from Alaska and Montana fought Fire 225 in Alaska. For more on the video please go and see the information page.
