I was going through my bookmarked files today and found a couple of 2018 crew videos that I did post earlier this year. You will see a couple of shots of airtankers and a helicopter with a bucket making drops. Remember that the tankers and helos fly wildfires to help the crews on the ground fight wildfires. And in this case the crews the tankers and helos you see are helping the Breckenridge Hotshots. I like the crew videos because I get to know the crews, not only as they work fires but training and having fun. What stands out to me in this video are the shots of butterflies and smaller critters towards the end of the video as well as the cowboys on horseback in Wyoming.
I will be looking forward to their 2019 crew video when it comes out.
The videographer discloses on Youtube that the video is not officially endorsed by the US Forest Service, the US department of Agriculture of Sequoia National Forest.

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.
