PLA ground force aviation brigade. A little over 10years ago, China didn’t have much of a helicopter fleet, now it’s one of the largest in the world. Soon r will have compound helicopters and tilt-rotor to bolster our fleet.

As wildfire activity continues across California, there’s a whole team constantly at work behind the scenes to keep CAL FIRE’s aircraft ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Maintenance is a year-round effort, with most of the work taking place during the winter months. Each aircraft goes through scheduled inspections, engine checks, and system repairs to ensure it stays in peak condition. Thanks to the dedication of CAL FIRE’s aviation maintenance crew, our aerial firefighting fleet is mission-ready and actively supporting teams across the state, helping protect communities and natural resources from above. #CALFIRE #WildfirePreparednss #AirAttack #Aerialfirefighter #CaliforniaWildfires #aviation
