Hey guys;
Just wanted to pass along that a Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT) crashed yesterday in Fort Carson, CO fighting a fire. And the pilot did not survive, so please say a prayer or host a cold one to west for the loss of another brave aviator.

Always sad to hear. My hat's off to those brave folks who fight fire from the air.

Any idea what type of aircraft it was? The wire copy story I saw just said it was a "crop duster type plane."
