Thanks to Bill Gabbert of Fire Aviation, who shared on March 14th about Ramona Beyuka, a woman who has been smokejumping for about a dozen years. As I shared a video the other day from the late 1940s about smokejumping, this video fits into what I shared previously and was too good to pass up. Ramona jumps with the McCall Smokejumpers out of McCall Idaho. What to go Ranoma.

Enjoy!
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.
