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.

Aerial Navigation - Precision Navigation using GPS
direct link to youtube video
My friends at Downstown thought that the best way to explain how they navigate when making their aerial application runs would be to show this video. The GPS system that they use is similar to the one that you will in this video.
Enjoy.
