Fire Lookouts and Research
Speaker: Richard Holm
Abstract:
Richard H. Holm, Jr. is a commercial pilot and outdoor enthusiast with a deep interest in the state’s history, particularly its remote backcountry areas. He has written extensively on backcountry aviation and fire lookouts.
This lecture will discuss Idaho fire lookout research in relation to my past projects, including my latest book, In Selway Shadows: Last Flight of 148Z, which connects fire lookouts to the US Forest Service’s deadliest aviation disaster in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.
