Several months after I devoted this blog to aerial wildland firefighting and related issues a good friend, and former airtanker pilot, of mine who was instrumental in supporting me in the early days of my blog told me about The Shepard by Frederic Forsyth. He told me about the video of The Shepard read by Alan Maitland from CBC Radio. I want to thank another friend who told me about The Shepard video that I am am sharing with you today, his e-mail served to remind me of my holiday tradition to share The Shepard video with you. The video is 32 minutes long and well worth it if you are an aviation enthusiast.
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.
