Rest in Peace Craig Hunt.
There is a nice photo gallery on CAL FIRE's facebook page (should be publicly available) of the October 8th ceremony transferring the body of CAL FIRE pilot Craig Hunt (pilot of T-81, crashed on October 7th near Yosemite National Park). Go here to see the photo gallery from CAL FIRE.
Jim Barnes, a close friend of Craig's, wrote a nice tribute to Craig on the Associate Aerial Firefighters webpage on October 9th, the tribute may be found here.
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.
