Water Bombers load up next to cruise liner

Fire fighting planes refilling in Villefranche-sur-mer bay next to a cruise liner

I'm amazed. Someone who not only shoots horizontally but also knows to hold the shot. Well done.

[frogfoot_media]

I've seen one filling up, but 4 at the same time? fantastic clip.

Still one of Canada's greatest international firefighting contributions, the Canadair CL-415. Four of them in formation fill up = awesome :D

[leeharveyscoutwald]

Very satisfying video. No vertical. No waggling around. Simple and consistent till the end. Congrats!

Well done to the camera operator for holding the shot for last bomber, then panning with it & holding the shot. As a professional cam-op I appreciate it.

Total respect to the pilots the skill that takes.
Brilliant video

[BadtemperedandGrumpy]

Wow ... think of how skilfull the pilot must be considering the drag on the aircraft as it fills and the huge change in weight distribution as the tanks fill ...

[alecnewman]

my dad flew fighters for years and now he flies for united. he told me once those guys make quite good money and the level of skill and expertise to get into flying something like that is very high. super cool planes, those pilots do important work no doubt

Now the cruise ship is gonna get stuck on a sandbar.

Great video. In 96 and 97 when I was fighting wildfires in Oregon it was the coolest thing ever to watch the pilot planes lead the water tankers in and watch them drop water, etc on the fire below the ridge my crew and I were on or across the side of the mountain near by. Even cooler when you're 50 feet away from a 2 acre pond and have a Chinooke helicopter drop a bucket down to collect water while hovering 75 ft above.

Just 80 years ago hearing that sound while standing on a ship and the word „bombers“ in the title wouldn’t have been that pleasant

To see these Canadair CL-415 at work is amazing. Best water bombers in the world.🇨🇦

[topfelya]

Amazing entertainment for cruise liner passengers

[Gaookami]

These fire fighting planes are an awesome combination of engineering and piloting skills

[johnmunro]

remember camping at a little place called Grimond in the saint Tropez bay in the 90s, watching these guys do this a couple of times a week. a few years after we were there the neighbouring town of saint Rafael was burned down...a number of people sadly died. these brave pilots flew round the clock and helped to contain the fire. Great guys.

You hit the airplane geek lottery with this one. 4 at the same time?? Amazing

[stevensargevertessen]

as a firefighter, i would be the happiest man in the world if had the chance to witness this.

[nd-place]

Now those are some badass heroes right there! Imagine being that cool.

The last plane: “Wait for me guys!! I’m coming!”
