A couple of the sites that I follow for reporting on wildfire news are taking a well deserved break until after the New Year and since it seems to be quiet in the world of wildfires, at least in the United States, famous last words. I just jinxed it. LOL. Anyway, I will keep posting during the holidays, but it may or may not be my usual fare. I will try to keep current on any major wildfires here in the U.S. In the meantime, December 17, was the ninety-ninth anniversary of the Wright Brother's First Flight. Enjoy this footage from early fights of the Wright Brothers shared by airailimages on YouTube.
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.
