In honor of T139, Coulson’s LAT 737 that went down today while fighting #wildfire (the crew is safe) is a video of on her first air attack in Yosemite Valley. 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
@douglasvb yes, still waiting for the ATSB report…but both pilots walked away with minor injuries…that’s what counts…
@Geewhizpat they must have belly flopped it somewhere very forgiving. I missed in the stories what brought it down. Engine failure?
@douglasvb don’t know…yes they glided in on the belly…
