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.

Remembering Vietnam Veterans on March 29th

Today, March 29th, is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. I came of age during the Vietnam War. Some of my older high school classmates were drafted to serve in Vietnam. Many fine young men served in Vietnam, many died and others are still living with the effects of their service. So, I am pausing today to offer my remembrances and gratitude to all Vietnam Veterans for your service. I thank-you from the bottom of my heart. For more information on Vietnam Veterans go to Vietnam Veterans of America.
