Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

Friday Fun: Superbowl Flyover

As a football and an aviation fan, I got a rare treat this past Superbowl Sunday, I got to see a rare flyover by three Airforce bombers: B-2 Spirit, B-1B Lancer, and a B-52 Stratofortress.

In the first video, you will meet some of the crew involved in this flyover and hear from Captain Sarah Kocluba who will lead the flyover in her B-2 Spirit. I only found out after the fact that Captian Kocluba was leading the flyover. So nice to see more women in military aviation.
