The image above is a screen grab from a video of very raw footage from the loaner multi-mission fixed wing aircraft that the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control (CDFPC) is using until the two aircraft they purchased are delivered by December 1. The video includes visual and infrared images shot from the aircraft on several missions they have been flying since it was delivered a few weeks ago.

We can’t embed the video (which was advertised by the CDFPC on Twitter) but you can see it at YouTube. Unless you really enjoy seeing an aircraft sitting on the tarmac with the prop spinning, you can skip the first minute. The title of the video indicates that it is a work in progress; there is quite a bit of duplication.

Today the Department held another press conference to introduce the aircraft.
