FlyWire checks out the Air Tractor FireBoss. If you haven't seen one, it is a Crop Duster, converted to a Fire Fighting airplane, converted to an Amphibian with huge floats and water scoops to become an Air Tanker. It looks like a HOOT to fly. We talk to the pilots about flying it and what it's like to be a Fire Fighting Pilot. Maybe this could be the thing for you!

FlyWire is about exploring flight and the freedom this incredible experience brings us on a personal level. Flying has always captured the imagination and excitement of living life to its fullest. Hi, I'm Scott Perdue. In a former life I flew the F-4 and F-15E, more recently I retired from a major airline. I've written for several aviation magazines over the years, was a consultant for RAND, the USAF, Navy, NASA as well as few others, wrote a military thriller- 'Pale Moon Rising' (still on Kindle). But mostly I like flying, or teaching flying. Some of the most fun I had was with Tom Gresham on a TV show called 'Wings to Adventure". We flew lots of different airplanes all over the country. Now with FlyWire I want to showcase the fun in flying, share the joy and freedom of flight and explore the world with you. Make sure you subscribe if you want to go along for the ride!

Five of those AT-802Fs from Dauntless Air in conjunction with a CH-54 Skycrane had a fire 3 miles from my house totally supressed and contained by the ground crew in steep terrain in less than an hour yesterday afternoon. It was AWESOMELY AWESOME to watch👍👍👍 Yeppers, Those five AT-802Fs made all the difference. 13+ mins between the first and second drops by the initial four ship AT-802F flight and 10 mins between drops two, three and four by them. Then the CH-54 ex Army Skycrane started working it too. 5 min turn around for him. It was an Wonderfully coordinated effort. 💯%👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It’s kinda too bad that nobody gave the company and crew at Whip Line floats a shout out. They are the folks that made this entire thing possible after all.

I love these planes. Live in BC where we don't have summer we have fire season and I'm certain that this airframe is absolutely the future of wildfire response, if I was a betting man I'd put money on there being a lot more of these in the future anywhere there's wildland fires.

I watched a couple of videos about the larger water scoopers, and they said the same thing about the moment when you start collecting water. Seems to be the same as those guys doing low level supply drops from cargo planes. Five feet off the ground, and they have to time it perfectly to keep the plane level when tons of weight suddenly fall out of the rear door, and their control inputs are now completely wrong for the situation. Another great video. Thanks, Scott.👍🏼

Thank you for the video. You asked all the questions that I would have asked. The other plane I would love to have you do a feature on is the CL415 'cause between the twin engines and the scooping they have some other added variables. I was in a twin-otter once when we lost an engine. With 15 passengers we just continued to the destination. The pilot made it look like it was all in a day's work. I'll bet that that wouldn't be the case if a CL415 lost an engine while scooping a load, but I would love to hear what a pilot has to say about it.

Awesome video! We live in Millsap and drive by this airport all the time, and I’ve seen these planes. The first time I saw them I had to stop and take pictures. Thought it was so strange for crop dusters to have floats! I had never researched it but watched one of your Bonanza videos and this one came came up as a suggestion. ... Now I know their purpose!! Glad to have found your channel!!!

I'm surprised that they extend the probes after they touchdown, which creates the very critical timing issue when adding the power for the pickup. On the CL-415, we'd extend the probes turning onto "final" for the lake. Then, you've only got two things to deal with - pitch and power. As soon as you touch down it wants to grab and pitch you forward. You check that with a short and brisk tug on the yoke (being careful not to overcontrol it and start a pilot-induced oscillation) and at the same time you're pushing the thrust levers full forward. Sounds easier than trying to do three things with two hands. Pilot not flying retracts the probes when the tank is full or you reach your gross weight of 47,000 lbs. You can pick up more water as you burn off fuel.

That's crazy that the floats only float the airplane empty. Meaning you have to be riding the air and have lift or you'll sink basically. Lol. Well not much margin. So I guess whence you're taking on water you do not ever come to a stop or slow down
