Video - Bombardier 415 Superscooper Fills Up in California Southern Sierras

Boatplanes ARE still alive and well!

Watch the opening sequence to Steven Spielberg's "Always".

These Folks are so Talented! Thank you all!

Hope there's some screening on the dump door so they keep the fish :)

This has got to be a tough piece of flying: the change in weight and center of gravity has to be a real challenge.Not to mention the deceleration from the resistance of the water being scooped up.

I am also amazed at what must go on when doing an air drop as far as changing/shifting COG and weight.

Outstanding video and flying!!! That is one way to disprove the old saying "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink! Wanna bet??? Drink or swim!

At 0:56 I can see water being ejected from just below the wing. Is this tank overflow?

These pilots do work hard for their flight pay and we all thank them for it. BTW - This video has been viewed on Facebook over 186,000 times and shared 1,100 times. (That's a lot.)

Man, that's pretty cool.

Serious cajones on all the firefighters battling those blazes, whether from the air or on the ground.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! & Thank You to all the aviation & non-aviation Firefighters, Police, State Troopers, Medics for your devotion to keep all safe.
