[@cellokid5104]

Especially cause you're flying to save people and not kill them

[@Scotttsman]

Gotta be one of the funnest and most rewarding jobs out there

[@IdahoBookworm]

I found out about the Fire Boss a couple weeks ago and decided flying it must be the best job in the world. Not surprised to see I was right. Funnily enough, just a couple weeks after learning about the Fire Boss they are flying over my house to fight a fire not three miles from me, helping to save my brother's house.

[@hel8686]

It's a Calling my Red,White&Blue Brother. Like an Albatross, Fly On!

[@carloS-jy1fl]

How are your plans going 10 months later regarding flying the fire boss? And yes, as the other guy mentioned, that was a calling

[@RexFeral55]

The last two Martin Mars waterbombers retired last week. Imagine flying one of those down the side of a mountain.

[@PDMcNcan]

Surreal

[@chambersight]

Imagine explaining this experience to someone who lived before the 20th century.

[@米空軍パイロット]

I bet the concept wouldn't be that far fetched to most westerners in the 19th century. It was already a time of change

[@chiefsnarlsnortz1610]

Go far enuf back we’d locked up as loonies! Lol 😂

[@buckbuchanan5849]

That 4-ship dropping in the lake together, epic. I usually loathe music overlays on flying vids, but that worked!

[@SBFDmedic]

As a 28 year retired Paramedic Fireman, this is FREAKIN BAD ASS!!! Love this, thank you all!!!

[@sgtellioman]

What these pilots do is truly bad-ass.

[@NvTwist]

Honestly there isn’t any other job in aware of that surpasses that job. Saving lives, a pilot that practically unrestricted, Corner office with gorgeous view… i could go on. Excellent Video. I subbed.

You don't have a job. You don't have a career. You have a passion.

Thank you for your service! I know I’m a teenager who does almost nothing for society yet but you are the reason people like me are still around and breathing. Thank you!

[@cwiller]

Been working next to these machines on fires for the last decade or so. If anything could get me out of my helicopter, it would be a FIreBoss. Another wave from the bucket ship.

[@brentvoris4399]

A couple of bucket ships and a flight of FireBosses make an awesome team for working down the line in support of the guys on the ground.

[@saulekaravirs6585]

That is such a serious job, but it looks like so much fun. The WWII sim air combat pilot in me feels like every low pass you make dropping water is a quick ground attack pass dropping ordinance behind you. Also Beautiful video by the way.

[@aviation2infinity802]

I was seriously glued for the whole 4 minutes. That was epic and bad ass!!

[@spirocorbett3839]

Saw these guys fly over my house. God bless the pilots and repair crews.

[@spurgear4]

Thanks for remembering the mechanics, many of us are pilots too but get forgotten in the background.

[@robschoeneck5877]

👍👍 From MN, You guys do GREAT WORK!!!!!

[@AlexejSvirid]

The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our loved ones again! :-)

Beautiful. Air tractors are now used here for fire fighting. Used to be TBM avengers, torpedo bombers from WWII. Cheers from Miramichi.

Not only Avengers, but PBY Catalinas and the few Martin Mars that were built, as well. Honestly my hat goes of to those who used them in that roll!

The God's work is preaching (1st Corinthians 1: 21). Earth is human's work (Genesis 1: 28). The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer.

The first Fireboss was actually a Thrush. Suck on that.

[@Josephaubrey41]

The first try at a prototype, floated, ag aircraft based scooping aircraft was a Thrush which it was quickly realized was inadequate. Then the AT802 came along and made the concept viable which now is the ever more successful Fireboss. So yeah… That’s the conclusion you come up with whey ya “suck on it” :)

[@TheSafetySmith]

Brave dedicated pilots and service crews. Maybe, just maybe enough of the army black budgets for a couple years and build fleets of these aircraft and new MARS water bombers instead of bombs that destroy lives. Sorry, I know that sound of the MARS water bombers and how a fleet of 12 could easily have controlled these larger fires in BC, Alberta, Sask, and California.

You have an amazing eye. Yes. We did two fuel cycles on that fire. Two fire bosses on the first and only one on the second - he did 69 loads in 3.5 hours. I couldn’t play because I got a couple of holes in my right float during the first round that made us quit a little early. I’d love to see the video!

Long time ago a super scooper in the ocean picked up a snorkeler and dropped him on the fire. Fact or fiction?

[@brentvoris4399]

Fiction. The scoops on even the biggest scoopers are too small to pick up a person. Ours are two 2.5” diameter and the CL415’s are only about twice that size.
