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.

From NIFC - weather and winds
direct link to video
I took a slight break today and then spent some time doing some more background work on the Douglas A-26's service as a tanker. Working on this series has been taking a little longer then anticipated. In the meantime, some of you know that I have gotten interested in weather from working on this blog as well as my interest in aviation. So, I leave you with this video on weather and winds affecting wildland firefighting from NIFC.
