I wish that I could have been there in San Bernardino person to offer my thanks and gratitude to 737 tanker 210, Marie Bashir, who served here in the United States for 57 days, on loan from the New South Wales Rural Fire Service. You and your crew flew 40 fires in the western U.S. Thank-you and your crew for helping fight these wildfires in support of our wildland firefighters on the ground. I wish you well as you get a maintenance check in advance of your flight home to New South Wales, Australia as their bush fire season is just starting.
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.
