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.

The Shepard by Fredric Forsyth

A friend of mine told about this wonderful aviation themed Christmas story: The Shepard by Fredric Forsyth as told by "Fireside Al" and broadcast on CBC radio. This same friend sent my a link to youtube where the story is told in four videos with aircraft photos. I post them here with warm wishes to all for a happy holiday season and safe and happy New Year.
