Holy cow that's awesome- what a great capture! Float plane, check. Turbine powered float plane- oh heck yes. Multiple turbine powered float planes- I'm in heaven.

Beautiful record, the airtractor with beautiful sounds from the pt6 5 blades and the effect of water on the floats

Nice footage of the Air Tractors, they are also quite active here during the summer.

That's some outstanding footage, indeed! Getting all five watering up at once was great, and a really nice 'pay-off' in the cinematic sense. It reminded me of the 'swarms' of Piper PA-25's that would tend to the blueberry fields behind my housing development when I was a young teen. Same vibe, very awesome sight. Thanks!

these things are way bigger in person than you would think, the cameras make them look itty bitty

That beautyful! Great. Nice job. Footage and pilot work are amazing.

I live close by a lake that the air bosses and the Canadian air use to scoop water in our county. It always amazes me. The talent the pilots have to do what they do.

I love watching these little Air Tractor's, they are so cool looking and look like little cartoon airplanes. I unfortunatly have never caught one on video. Great work Jesse 👍😎

[BAVBavarianAviationVideonews]

What an amazing footage!😍 I've never seen an Air Tractor in person!😅 But it's sad to know that they are so needed over there because of all the forest fires...😔 Thumbs up my friend😉

[ColdAirAviation]

This is so awesome! I Love these planes! The pilots truly are amazing. Nice work.

[hanschristianben]

I can watch these guys all day 🤩🤩

top notch stuff again Jesse!! 🤩🤩

[KiwiPlaneVideos]

Nice videos! There sure are a lot of those aircraft in action! The shots look pretty cool with them all flying off in the same direction. We actually have a lot of Air Tractor's over here in New Zealand used for crop dusting, very versatile aircraft!

the minimum amount of hours required to do this is between 3-5 thousand flight hours definitely not as easy as it looks

[DrJohn]

That's some amazing piloting skills!
