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.

RIP Jane Wicker and Charlie Shwenker
direct link to video
I want to pause and offer my thoughts and prayers for the families and friends of Jane Wicker and Charlie Shwenker. As many of you know, they both died as the result of a crash at an airshow in Dayton last weekend. Jane was a wing walker and Charlie was the pilot.
May you fly and perform in favorable tailwinds.
