Big loong wheelies (until it gets to cruising altitude). Used to love to watch the fighter jets from the sidelines of the runway take off with their afterburners near dusk, what a RUSH! Big flaming wheelies!
Excellent video - thank you for posting. This is one of my dream jobs (still - at the age of 50+). Could not think of a better office for my day! Please post more on this... just no music please :0) (engines are music to my ears).
I really love this kind of plane it perfect! If anything is to go wrong with it you can always safely land on the water and there is plenty of room inside the plane! If I could fly and had to chose I would pick this plane!
***** Just forest! Came within 1km of my buddy's house, they grabbed some shit and ran, It was coming fast...we live in the bush! LOL! The Bombers did an awesome job of getting it under control in the high winds! Amazing watching them bank and dive!
Hi-tech compared to the 1960's vintage C130s and H3 Sikorskis we used to wrench on (I'm dating myself aren't I)!? Love the digital instruments (with analog backups of course!). You tall enough to fly that thing Cubbee, booster seat maybe? Better stick to Grizzlies!
The guide gave you the wrong numbers. That plane holds 13500 pounds of water 6750 per side or each of the 4 tanks holds 3375 pounds. In metric it carries 6.1 cubic meters . Of course a cubic meter is 1000 liters and it weighs 2200 pounds or 1 metric ton.
The CL-415's are pretty good machines but they cost 35 million dollars a piece and only haul 1500 gallons of water, in contrast the Air Tractor Fire Boss is about 3 million dollars and can haul 800 gallons, one CL-415 can not out work 5 or 6 Air Tractors in fire fighting. Plus multiple aircraft can respond to different fires at the same time.
Hey Cubbee! Great tour of the water bombers! Never seen one of those up close before. Thanks for showing what they are like inside and out!
What an awesome tour!! Thanks!!!
That was interesting! Enjoyed the tour - thanks for taking us along!
That's a nice change of pace. Now I need to watch the other vid.
Çok başarılı bir uçak 👏🏻👏🏻🇹🇷🇹🇷

Now that would be cool to see! Flames!
Really expected the tanks to take up more space, unless this configuration is being used for more than water bombing.
Cool! I've got video and photos of the 271 in action fighting a fire in my neighbourhood! Thanks guys!
Rob Farrow The bombers are amazing. It was really cool to take a tour...hope the fire in your neighbourhood didn't do any damage!

John doe An expensive piece of machinery aren't they! Thanks for checking out the video.
U know they are the only plane ever made for fighting fire ?
They are the greatest fire fighter ever made .
Bobilator Realitywall The Air Tractor is an agricultural aircraft, but the Fire Boss conversion with Floats was specifically built for fighting fires.
First finally!!! Yay
