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.
I have been thinking about Single Engine Airtankers (SEATs) recently and just found this nice video, about 9 minutes where you will see primarily SEATs working wildfires in Oregon and Idaho in 2024. I have a lot of respect for the important work that SEATs do in helping groundpounders fight wildfires.
