FireBosses scooping water and dropping it on fires, primarily in Alaska and Washington. Cool flying and pretty scenery. Music "Ride the Lightning" by Warren Zeiders
Flying low through smoke and fire like you're dropping ordinance in a war zone, but instead of napalming the forest, you're saving it. Probably the closest thing to being a WWII dive bomber you can experience in our day and age.
My great friend that I went through flight training with recently lost his life in a Turbo Thrush.. He wanted to do aerial applications specifically because you could fly low and bank hard like a fighter pilot back in ww2. He loved it, and excelled at it.. He was a great guy and flew very safe all the while looking as if he was not flying safe.. Great pilot that loved his job and was lost due to a freak accident.. We know there are risks that something beyond your control can and do happen.. He died doing what he loved. That gives me peace.. Love and miss you Billy!!!
Those are low-angle bombers. Yep, I always thought that would be a fun job. Dive bombers would dive at high angles, like 70-80 degrees, nearly straight down…which wouldn’t work well for firefighting.
@@robertbraun7155 I’m so sorry to hear that. that is the risk we all take as pilots that is why it is good to know what happened to others so we can learn from that 😔
@@strite92”so can I get a wish, to end the politics, and get back to the music that started this shit? So here I stand and then again I say, I’m hoping we can make some wishes out of Airplanes” Lol
From someone who lives in wildfire country: You guys are like angels from heaven when the smoke starts rising. Thanks for doing what you do and boy, it looks like a heck of a lot of fun!
@@patrikpass2962 Yes, you're right. Wildfires, along with good forest management help keep the forests healthy. The problem is sometimes fires happen where people and property are put in harm's way. No one should have to pay with their lives or their homes for bad forest management or just being caught up in a natural disaster. Those are the times you are so thankful that there are people out there willing to put their lives on the line to protect others.
You guys do the hard work - there’s no point in us even showing up if you’re not there to support. Much respect to you mate. My wingman, Fuzz, is an Aussie as well by the way.
@@brentvoris4399respect from Aus here too mate. Love what you guys do supporting us on the ground. The only way we can win is together. You guys are legends, and let Fuzz know he's a bloody champion and love from back home 👍
Currently working on my Instrument and Commercial ratings. Everybody around me talks about getting to the airlines, but this is where my heart is at. Epic!
God bless you and keep you safe on this journey. This is absolutely a high risk occupation and requires enormous planning. As someone who is getting their instrument and commercial rating, you already know this. Thank you for working towards a goal that protects other people. And I bid you good luck.

I live in Greece, and my country is very vulnerable to wildfires. Every time there is a wildfire, men like these respond with their aircraft to fight the flames. The pilots who fly these aircraft are some of the bravest men in the world. You guys are real heroes.

I'll do my first shift as a flight coordinator in a firefighting helicopter in two days. Pretty anxious about it but this video helped comfort me. Thank you
damn man. you ain't kidding. this is the dreamjob i keep telling myself i'll have one day... still only got 1.5 hours toward my pilots license though and a 3 year old... no money, no time, no dice. I will live vicariously through you. Thanks for doing the good work.
Living my dream, looks like it’s time to move. I need a change. Thank you for all that you do that goes unrecognized. For myself personally, I wouldn’t want it any other way. It’s the work that feels good without the “praise”. Proverbs 8:13. Godspeed and God Bless🫡
@@jackhewson64 I got a long way before that sadly. Ability wise I'm not far off but I've run into issues with my medical and need to get a special issuance.

Imagine just being some fish. Just blub blub blubbing away. You hear the far off sound of a buzz, getting louder into a roar. Then you get swept up into a tiny room. You're being vibrated and tossed about, the sound deafening you. Then you fall through the air into a fire.
Damn, should be a recruiting video. I've always loved aviation but not enough to pursue it as a pilot ir in a career but this just about makes me consider a career change.
It takes years to become certified on this level and state/federal nothings impossible all it takes is a simple search of how to get into this career then also your place of residence as well ( state / distance ) where they fly etc😅
I’m an aerial firefighting enthusiast (if that’s a thing lol) but this video was really cool. Thank you for putting the fires out in our forest keeping our National Parks alive
Have family in wildfire country, you folks are angels both figurative and literal. Thanks for doing what you do and protecting the forest and those dwelling in/around it.
Just a flight sim nerd that likes being out in the boonies too - straight up goosebumps watching this. Beautiful stuff for so many reasons. The scenery, controlling fires, aviating, and the planes.
God Bless anyone with the courage to do this job. You are a legend and thank you and your crew for keeping the fires at bay. You guys never get enough credit for putting your butt in the flames each time.
I have the second best job in the world being on the ground helping direct and watching the air assets do their thing. Air craft has saved my butt a few times. Awesome to see it from your perspective🤙 hope you have a good and safe fire season🤙
All one can say is "F..k!" Flyinging that gives you an ingrown woodie... Thank you for all you do for the environment and for the people you serve. Every little critter and plant down there thanks you too...
The pilots with brass balls are either dead or got them removed with better training. The cowboy days are done. Nobody wants to die or even accept unnecessary risk just to protect trees and houses anymore.
Amen brother! Retired Army Green Beret and former member of Delta Force here, and I can tell you that you do have one heck of a cool job. All the best, and blue skies!
Who else than me misread the title as "The Best Job in World War II", and thought this was a some sort of a re-enactment flight to mimic the feeling of a WWII fighter pilot? I finally noticed something was odd when it started to fly over forest fires, and then scooping up waters...
The algorithm got this one right

Indeed, spot on

Thank you UA-cam for this suggestion.
Finally a suggestion who worth watching !
Part of the wildland fire group out of Washington. Love seeing you guys come in and knowing we have support.
We always joke that its probably louder in your cockpit because of every alarm yelling at you at once.
Haha - yes, if you don’t disable some of the audio warnings it can be very distracting … “Terrain! Pull up! Pull up!”
If you're not setting off alarms, are you really having fun? 😂

Expensive way to cook fish, but FUN!
Now this is a job I could both have fun with and be proud of.
When danger close has a different meaning. That was awesome to see other you and other pilots help putting that fire.
Never seen anything more beautiful than this!

Thank you for what you do
Thank you for trying to keep everyone safe! Amazing footage!
I, as a pilot, feel jealous. Well done, Brent.
.
I'm actually surprised the planes can get into the air, considering the excess weight of the pilots giant brass balls.
Their egos balance things out. I do mean that with great respect. I used to work in fire. They love what they do. Not all have balls.
The pilots with brass balls are either dead or got them removed with better training.
