With Monday's post on DC-7 Tanker 62 I am resuming doing background work leading to what I hope will be more reflections on different airtankers. Hopefully this background work won't take too long.
In the meantime, I offer you a four minute video from the 2012 fireseason taken from the cockpit of a SEAT working that years wildfires. It is likely that I have shared this video at some point over the last six years, if so it is worth seeing again.

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.
