Aerial <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/firefighting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firefighting</span></a> is an <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/aerospace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aerospace</span></a> niche but it is a critical one. Within that niche, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/VTOL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VTOL</span></a> aircraft bring unique capabilities. They deliver water and retardant precisely, transport firefighters to remote areas, and perform aerial reconnaissance. VTOLs are essential assets for rapid response and effective wildfire management. 💪🚁 <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/aircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aircraft</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aviation</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/emergencymanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emergencymanagement</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/engineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>engineering</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/verticalflight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>verticalflight</span></a></p>
