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.

Curiosity Arrives at Mt. Sharp on Mars
I am taking a time out to share some exciting news about what one of my favorite Martian Rovers -- Curiosity -- has been up to these days. After two years she has arrived at the base of Mt. Sharp. on Mars. I did get advance notice of a press conference yesterday where this was announced but a prior commitment kept me away from watching the press conference on live stream. A press release with photographs from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory may be found here.
