An excellent story that highlights the skill, training, and determination required to become a smokejumper. Well worth the read. https://widerimage.reuters.com/story/firefighters-make-leap-to-smokejumping?fbclid=IwY2xjawUp8q9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABwZG9mAWJyaWQRMXZNUlB0Z2RHT0twYUxaYjFzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEewwyA1fNPIyxPfU4DRCjQwastAWA3fh-7HZo4dZCkifC-E77NPpoURN6sS6A_aem_luUvFsJL_E025N3da_-3Sg

The aviation world is a small one, and today our hearts are heavy.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of two helicopter pilots who were killed while supporting firefighting operations on the Dome Fire in Yosemite National Park. Park. One of the pilots has been identified as Greg King, a respected aviator who dedicated his career to career to supporting wildland firefighting efforts.

Aerial firefighting is among the most demanding and dangerous missions in aviation. Every day, these crews accept extraordinary risks in service to others, helping protect communities, natural resources, and the firefighters working on the ground.

From all of us at Bighorn Airways, we extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and coworkers of both pilots, the entire Precision team, and the wildland firefighting community as they mourn this heartbreaking loss.

May we honor their memory by remembering the dedication, courage, and selfless service they brought to the mission.

Blue skies and tailwinds.

🇺🇸 **We Stand In Memory of** 🇺🇸

Tonight, families across America will make plans for tomorrow, say goodnight to loved ones, and go to sleep expecting another ordinary day.

Twenty-five years ago, thousands of Americans did the same.

On the morning of September 11, 2001:

246 passengers and crew members boarded four flights, expecting to arrive safely at their destinations.

Thousands of men and women reported for work at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

343 firefighters, 60 law enforcement officers, and 8 paramedics answered the call to serve and protect, never knowing the sacrifice that day would demand.

By the end of that morning, nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost, and countless families, friends, coworkers, and communities would be forever changed.

For those of us in aviation, September 11th is more than a date in history. It changed the way we fly, the way we secure our airports, and the way we view the responsibility that comes with connecting people through flight. But it also revealed the very best of America: courage, selflessness, resilience, and unity.

At , we pause to remember every passenger, flight crew member, first responder, military member, and civilian whose life was taken that day. We honor the heroes who ran toward danger when others were seeking safety. We remember the families who continue to carry that loss. And we remain grateful for the strength of a nation that stood together in the aftermath.

As the sun rises tomorrow, may we take a moment to appreciate another day with our families, another opportunity to serve our community, and another chance to never take a single moment for granted.

May we never forget the lives lost.
May we always honor the heroes.
May we continue to stand united.

🇺🇸 **September 11, 2001** 🇺🇸

JUMP 55 LIVE!

Two jumpers out the door and headed for the target! Nothing beats the thrill of watching skilled smokejumpers launch into action from the sky.

Proud to support the crews who are always ready when duty calls. Safe jumps, smooth landings, and blue skies ahead!



Two jumpers. One Pilot. One Aiplane. One mission. All heart.
