    Holy cow that's awesome- what a great capture! Float plane, check. Turbine powered float plane- oh heck yes. Multiple turbine powered float planes- I'm in heaven.

    I live close by a lake that the air bosses and the Canadian air use to scoop water in our county. It always amazes me. The talent the pilots have to do what they do.

    That's some outstanding footage, indeed! Getting all five watering up at once was great, and a really nice 'pay-off' in the cinematic sense. It reminded me of the 'swarms' of Piper PA-25's that would tend to the blueberry fields behind my housing development when I was a young teen. Same vibe, very awesome sight. Thanks!

      @@patricioherrerao.9311we only use them when the waters are calm as there were operating on fresh water and not on the ocean it makes sense that they would not be as good with the big waves but in a small town like Nelson where we have very calm water it makes tons of sense to use them Canada also operates the canadair family and they are widely used by every province in Canada. Conair has a big fleet of them which works well for rapid response to major fires

    Awesome camera stabilization going on here, I had a chance to shoot this kind of activity. No gimbal ! Just hand held. I don't know what camera you're using, mine is a GH4 LUMIX, I have a setting that allows me to set the shutter angle. So I have my shutter angle set at 180 degreased, at 24fps And I get a Natural Prop motion . Next time I'll try shooting at 30fps and run it in 24fps in post. Maybe add a gimbal on a tripod. th-cam.com/video/BvQE0ZLLQ7c/w-d-xo.html
