On a nice summer afternoon I think it is time to continue to take a time out. I am sharing two videos posted by Brian Lockett showing air tanker operations at Santa Barbara CA on October 4, 1987. It is possible that I may have posted these videos before, if so they are worth seeing again. The first video is about four minutes and the second video is a little over 14 minutes. Be sure to check the link under each video where you may find information for a listing of some of the tankers you will see.

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.
