Nate Rose, and Ned Barnett, sit inside the Dornier 228 plane headed to McCall in Idaho at the West Yellowstone Smokejumper base in West Yellowstone, Montana, U.S., August 10, 2021. Smokejumpers are known for their emotional calm and mental alertness. "If you're easily excitable, you're probably more prone to make mistakes during your initial parachute training," says West Yellowstone base manager Knute Olson (not pictured).
