I have got a potpourri of different kinds of articles planned for the next couple of weeks and thought I'd give you a heads up on what to expect. All of them center on videos that I recently found.

July 30, 2014: La Grande Air Attack, Pt 1 of 2, narrated footage from the cockpit
August 1, 2014: La Grande Air Attack, Pt 2 of 2, narrated footage from the cockpit

August 6, 2014: About the dangers of fighting grass fires
August 8. 2014: About fire shelter deployment
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.
