I want to pause today and remember Captain Jeff Kuss, pilot of Blue Angels 6, who died on June 2nd when Blue Angels 6 (F18) crashed in Smyma Tennessee. The Blue Angels airshow scheduled for this coming weekend, a part of the Great Tennessee Airshow, has been cancelled. Captain Kuss, 32, leaves a wife and two children. Please join me in remembering Captain Kuss, may you always fly in favorable tail winds. My thoughts and prayers are with Captain Kuss's family, friends, Blue Angels team, and all who love him.

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.
