    A spotter looks out from a Shorts C-23 Sherpa aircraft while dropping cargo during the California Aerial Supervision Academy on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, April 29, 2026. Smokejumpers use Joint Precision Aerial Delivery (JPAD) to drop GPS-guided para-cargo, delivering thousands of pounds of supplies to firefighters each season. The academy allows air attack students from the Forest Service and CAL FIRE to practice coordinating multiple firefighting aircraft, including helicopters, tankers, and smokejumpers.
