One of my favorite aviation stories is Frederick Forsyth's The Shepard as read by Alan Maitland. Alan was a radio broadcaster with CBC who read Forsyth's The Shepard on many of his Christmas Eve Broadcasts. A friend of mine first told me about The Shepard five years ago, and sharing this video with you has become a tradition. This is the fifth year that I have embedded this video here. Happy Holidays everyone, safe travels for those of you who are traveling.

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.
