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.

Minden T-48 emergency landing (6/15/14)
Minden's Tanker 48, a Lockheed P-2V, made an emergency landing on Sunday night (June 15) in Fresno, CA after working the Shirley Fire. I am happy that both pilots survived and are uninjured. Kudos to the pilots! I don't know how long T-48 will be out of service. For more information see this report and video from Mynews4 in Reno NV.
