Desiree Horton Helicopter Pilot

I would be remiss if I did not write about Desiree Horton. I first learned about Desiree back in 2008 or 2009 when I first starting blogging about aerial wildland firefighting. I believe that at that time she was flying a helicopter for the CBS news outlet in Los Angeles. A couple of years ago I did hear that was flying a helicopter for CAL FIRE, the first women helicopter pilot. I think, but am not certain, that she is still flying for CAL FIRE.  I hope that she is still flying for CAL FIRE. I enjoyed this October 2014 video report from CBS Los Angeles on Desiree Horton and I thought that you would as well.
