Flying low through smoke and fire like you're dropping ordinance in a war zone, but instead of napalming the forest, you're saving it. Probably the closest thing to being a WWII dive bomber you can experience in our day and age.

[@robertbraun7155]

My great friend that I went through flight training with recently lost his life in a Turbo Thrush.. He wanted to do aerial applications specifically because you could fly low and bank hard like a fighter pilot back in ww2. He loved it, and excelled at it.. He was a great guy and flew very safe all the while looking as if he was not flying safe.. Great pilot that loved his job and was lost due to a freak accident.. We know there are risks that something beyond your control can and do happen.. He died doing what he loved. That gives me peace.. Love and miss you Billy!!!

Those are low-angle bombers. Yep, I always thought that would be a fun job. Dive bombers would dive at high angles, like 70-80 degrees, nearly straight down…which wouldn’t work well for firefighting.

@@DrummerJacob Drones and Artificial Intelligence are a long way from replacing work like this. We still don't have autopilot replacing flight crew on airlines even though it probably could.

Fuck our government for buying fighter jets from france instead of fire planes, we are burning up every year.

[@clukait]

As a boy, I always wanted to be a pilot because my uncle infected me with it. He was an agricultural pilot on a Bell 47 and we were allowed to fly with him from time to time. Later, when it came to finishing school, I applied for the Bundeswehr and wanted to join the aviation service. But it didn't work. I learned something different and worked in many different countries. But my heart still beats for aviation. I often think about earlier times and why I didn't seek my fortune in America or Canada to fly there. Becoming a pilot there is much easier and, above all, cheaper than in Germany. Fighting fires from the air is really a great job. That's why I believe your word that this has to be the coolest job in the world. Greetings from Germany.

[@brylski6]

Maybe look into ultralights. They are cheaper overall. And you can still have a closed Cockpit

[@MrYabber]

Are you sure it’s cheaper in America? For a private pilots license, that’s $15,000 - $20,000. For a commercial pilots license, it’s around $86,000. Grand total of $105,000 - $110,000. (You need both licenses to fly commercial aircraft).

Here is Christ's question, Mathew 15: 3: "But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?" Malachi 2: 1-4: "And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith Jehovah of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and ye shall be taken away with it. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant may be with Levi, saith Jehovah of hosts." (ASV) A women say "the Husband has no name". Another ones say "the Husband has many names". Some of women "love the Husband in all his manifestations" like: neighbour, taxi driver, coworker, and so forth. Some women in a Husband-fearing way call him "H-D"... But, all of those prostitutes say "the Husband is the only". Their prostitution has created another women saying "there is no Husband at all". Then they even talk about "trinity of the Husband" and they are not against "the Son taking the Husband's place". In the same way religious prostitutes try to hide their disgusting fornication with different gods. Furthermore, a correct pronunciation of the Name is unknown now. This is the “loyalty” of traitors! Here is the God's word spoken through Moses, Deuteronomy 11: 16-17: "Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you." So, the God says there are other gods, but blind leaders of blind lead people into trap. "Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for. "HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah). Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why liers feel so good while righteous people are persecuted. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. He has anointed the king, Jesus Christ. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
