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.

Friday Fun: Air Tractors crop dusting in Australia

For Friday aviation fun, enjoy this five-minute video by Aggieman1125 depicting crop dusting in Australia with music. I have been fortunate to see crop dusters in action in New Jersey thanks to my friends at Downstown Aero Crop Service who invited me to come and watch them several years ago. For Example see my March 13 2020 post.
