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.

Air Tractor 1002 Test plane

I came across this video of the new AT-1002 a few weeks ago, and am posting it here. I believe that is a test plane. The only detail I know is that it has a 1,000 gallon retardant tank. According to the information from youtube, the pilot is chief test pilot Troy Vaught.
