direct link to video on youtube, one of a series of airtanker videos recently made available on the new Associated Aerial Firefighters youtube channel
This is a video of an Avialsa AT-802 and a Fire Boss. Avialsa Air Tractor's fly fires. I don't know about you, but I love watching Air Tractors. Air Tractors hold a special place in my heart because I have met the AT-802's little brother, the AT-602 up close and personal thanks to my friends at Downstown Aero. I could spend all day watch Air Tractors fly. I would love to see a Fire Boss up close and personal, never have. Perhaps one day.
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
