Live shot this morning of Erickson Aero LAT T104 now over Ecuador on her way to work alongside VLAT912 of “ten tanker” she will arrive to fight the #Chile #wildfire tomorrow #ChileFires #wildfires #bomberos #avgeeks #airtankers The Luksic family, wealthy Chilean financiers, committed to the one-month financing of Erickson Aero T104 in the fight against forest fires in the regions of #Ñuble, #Biobío and #LaAraucanía. Though politically controversial, Chilean lives and communities are at stake.

How did the pilots of airtanker T139 survive? Photos of the crash site have emerged online, and it’s incredible to know the pilots walked away from this crash. The emergency exit door was jammed and at least one of the emergency windows was jammed and bent. One of the individuals was a Chief pilot along with a younger pilot. These claims have not been confirmed by the company. https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/p/how-did-they-survive-pilots-walk #wildfire #wildfires #airtankers #airtanker #avgeek #AvgeeksofMastodon https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/p/how-did-they-survive-pilots-walk

Unlike my experience watching the reload of retardant at McClellan fire air base retardant pits, VLAT912 will load water from prepared pools…I feel grateful for #Calfire today…#Chile #chilewildfires #wildfire #wildfires #airtankers #avgeek #AvgeeksofMastodon

It is hard to explain how this loss hits me when airtankers saved my home during the #CaliforniaWildFires…she is a live entity to me and will be sorely missed…my condolences to the Coulson aviation family, the crew and their families and of course…to T139 #avgeek #AvgeeksofMastodon #avgeeks #airtankers
