Most music I hear with vids I can't stand, HOWEVER, this poster selected music that actually not only goes very well with the video, but the poster knew when to allow the aircraft sounds to be prominent. Unfortunately, most people posting haven't a clue. Bravo to this poster for a great vid., thumbs up flying, and decent music that I enjoyed.
wow, great footage, the fire was really close to the airfield... i'd love to fly airtankers/air tractors...but there are neither big wildfires in germany nor large fields
Thanks for posting this video. Flying a SEAT would be adrenalin-pumping, for sure. Have you flown a Fire-Boss AT? They pick up by skimming, like the CL-415, Martin Mars, Be-200 and others, and can make several times as many runs/day than a land-plane AT. That may be more tiring, which is an important factor, but they can really deliver the moist stuff and snuff fires. Do you have any opinions about the Fire-Boss? I would be interested.
That's a whole lot of single engine plane there. Yanking & banking in that environment is hardly trivial with visibility limited in the roughest terrain, with high den alt, with up & downdrafts on steroids. Risky business. Pilot I used to work with back when I was a line boy bought it in an S2 working a fire. As I said, hardly trivial business, but it is absolutely appreciated!

It is "Three Seed" by the Silversun Pickups. It is also listed in the credits at the end of the video.
Starts off really good. I'm thinking cool video. Then I guess it was time for the music. The plane sounded a lot better.

My dream job
finishing up my commercial ticket now, wanting to fly S.E.A.T., I fought fires on the ground, Flying should be much more fun!
nice work
what a long roll just to fly the tail!
Love Silversun and think it fits great - piss on the whiners that only want a/c noise
You're a wonderful human. Like my viewpoint or piss on you. Jeez.
why did it take you the whole runway to take off.
Michigan Wolverine ?
What's the song?
