Aerial Fire Fighting Pilots; Kudos
I think these firefighters should be honored next fire season, these pilots give it all and they lose at least one pilot per year, since it is a very dangerous job flying low level in little or no visibility during the drop, with dead trees with no vegetation on them that stick up 40 feet plus high. During 9-11 ceremonies in 2005 we ought to think of all the fire fighters who give it all including these pilots, because each year they risk life and limb to battle the big ones.
