@@hermespsychopompos8267 It's not in Greece. The video said Villefranche-sur-mer (and i can confirm i live not far away so i know how this city look) it's in France :)
Well done to the camera operator for holding the shot for last bomber, then panning with it & holding the shot. As a professional cam-op I appreciate it.
Nah, it won't change the water level much. Why? Because it's an island, surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water. And that ocean is really really wet, one of the wettest we've ever seen, from a standpoint of water.
Wow ... think of how skilfull the pilot must be considering the drag on the aircraft as it fills and the huge change in weight distribution as the tanks fill ...
There is something called "ground effect" when you fly close to the ground or the water. The plane stabilizes itself because the air kind of gets compressed under the wings. I copy a small part of the wikipedia article: "For fixed-wing aircraft, ground effect is the reduced aerodynamic drag that an aircraft's wings generate when they are close to a fixed surface.[1] When landing, ground effect can give the pilot the feeling that the aircraft is "floating". When taking off, ground effect may temporarily reduce the stall speed. The pilot can then fly just above the runway while the aircraft accelerates in ground effect until a safe climb speed is reached.[2]" Don't get me wrong those pilots are pretty skillfull but physic helps while flying close above the ground. Here is a presentation from a glider pilot about ground effect. th-cam.com/video/xTUkwP4noGY/w-d-xo.html
my dad flew fighters for years and now he flies for united. he told me once those guys make quite good money and the level of skill and expertise to get into flying something like that is very high. super cool planes, those pilots do important work no doubt
@@sorryforthings72 nah i don't think so, he's a 737 instructor now with united and he likes it. he might've considered it in the past but he went the commercial route
@@michaeldowson6988 Yes, you're right. In France, they typically come from either the French Air & Space Force, or the Navy, and I believe that they must have logged in a minimum of 3000 flight hours and 12 years of experience before applying. Also, their average start salary is around €2200/month (gross). That's less than 30k per year for a maximum of 8h/day of work in the peak season... and a maximum of risks, day in, day out!
Great video. In 96 and 97 when I was fighting wildfires in Oregon it was the coolest thing ever to watch the pilot planes lead the water tankers in and watch them drop water,etc on the fire below the ridge my crew and I were on or across the side of the mountain near by. Even cooler when you're 50 feet away from a 2 acre pond and have a Chinooke helicopter drop a bucket down to collect water while hovering 75 ft above.
remember camping at a little place called Grimond in the saint Tropez bay in the 90s, watching these guys do this a couple of times a week. a few years after we were there the neighbouring town of saint Rafael was burned down...a number of people sadly died. these brave pilots flew round the clock and helped to contain the fire. Great guys.
these planes are manufactured in canada in france they are being known as "CANADAIR" and they do a wonderful job lots of fires in the summer in the south of france thanks 4 sharing : )
Outstanding video! Think about the pilot skills: he's got to proceed to intaking some water with a FOUR ship formation, in a busy, crowded sea port, with a little bit of waves and movements in all directions, and manage his and his wingmen's fatigue from fighting fires all day long... That is truly one of the most beautiful jobs in the world!
@@lacroix9407 I'm kinda late but I live near s dam in Spain and those guys are scary when they fly 30m over your head coming from the treelines. I love those planes so much
Yeah but the ship can't fly and is only filled with contrived white folk pretending to be rich with their tiny cabin room cruise they could barely afford so it's useless.
Old video i know, but whats amazing about this is: 1) How fast they can fully reload their tanks. 2) How skilled those pilots have to be to land at speed, continue at speed, and take off again, at speed (and heavier) without crashing. 3) You can tell their now full of water because of how more 'gentle' they are with the aircraft after taking off again. They practically dive-bombed the beach to fill up, but after getting full of sloshing liquid, they have the skill to be 'easy on the stick' to keep their sloshing loads from over-balancing their aircraft.
1) about only 12 s 2) they very skilled!!! i think they are one of the best pilots in the world... I saw them often in Sardinia bec of fires and they flew through our valley and we live at 170 msl and they were "under us" 3) Climb speed about 7 m/s or 23 fpm fully loaded.
Sometimes I dream of those times when youtube videos were having titles that explained exactly what the video was about. Nothing less and nothing more. Good old times.
A very recent change. Viking headquartered at Victoria International, however there is no space available there for manufacture of that large of an air frame. Production will occur in Calgary.
Wrong. The CL-415 has it's roots in the trail blazing Canadian bush plane designs. The only things the PBY shares are certain design traits - high mount engines and wing tip floats.
Nice catch. Canadian designed _Canadair/Bombardier CL-415_ water bombers in action. Can't say I've ever seen four do a load up pass at the same time. Very nice catch indeed.
Best thing I learned from this video is to not wait to Pan the shot till the last plane but to Pan the shot as soon as the closest most active and interesting planes go by
The real irony is that your comment was made on some type of device whose construction is one of the reasons those planes are needed, most likely powered by another reason those planes are needed.. At least the guy on the cruise ship isn't virtue signalling.
OMG! That is awesome and beautiful! Interesting part is there's a purposeful reason as to why the last plane lags behind so far. Its an alignment issue for dropping the water. Pretty neat deal
That has been going on in Montana this summer, trying to put out fires. The planes and helicopters were filling up with water at our reservoir. I'm sure many other places have needed this too.
My childhood yearly holiday destination. 👍🏼 Hope I can go once more before passing. It was just such a gorgeous place back in the late 70’s - ti end 80’s
How does the plane/pilot compensate for the bounce when skimming across the water? Also, how would the bouncing be more of a problem (you could see it in the video) or would the plane being pulled down when "scooping up" the water be more if a problem?

Must have had a spotter to tell him that there was a fourth plane. I didn't notice it.

Those are the hell of incredible performance pilots to many at the same time.
Its amazing these planes can take on water like this without nose diving into it from the drag of taking in the water.
