I spent most of the afternoon watching live stream of the procession, a very moving experience. After the procession had left station 7, home base of the Granite MT Hotshots, a USFS DC-3 dropped 19 purple streamers. I did not see the streamers. But I saw a couple of minutes of the USFS DC-3 shot from one of the news helos.
video report from azcentral (12 minutes) of procession from Phoenix to Prescott
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.
