A bundle of para-cargo floats under a parachute after being dropped from a Shorts C-23 Sherpa during the California Aerial Supervision Academy on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, April 29, 2026. The California Smokejumpers deliver thousands of pounds of supplies to firefighters each season, often utilizing Joint Precision Aerial Delivery (JPAD) GPS-guided systems to ensure critical equipment reaches personnel on the ground during wildfire incidents.
