You can thank Craptube for that. Got a message saying the third party blah blah blah copyright blah blah blah. They pulled it till I put some lame ass shit in there.
I believe the Tanker you are talking about is a PBY. Tanker 85 I believe is on contract to Washington State. I have worked with him a few times over the years and he always does a great job. I don't think the PBY will be around much longer. Too bad.
Yep. That is Tanker 85 (out of Deer Park, WA) - a PBY Canso (Catalina in the US). The contract with the state of Washington was not renewed for the 2008 season, and its future is uncertain at best. It always did a good job in working the fires of the interior of northern Washington.
ahh the good old days of airtankers are gone here in the US. 95% of our airtankers here are Tubroprops such as the S-2T, AT-802, and the P-3. the only cool tankers are the Neptune Avation P-2V neptunes.
My most profound gratitude and respect to these peacetime bomber pilots - you rock! Thanks for all you and the support personnel do - we'd be lost without you.

It is pretty neat how many planes being used were once anti submarine warfare planes.

Who the hell's been dicking around with the soundtrack? This is not the audio that belongs to this video.

Copyright on the two songs on the video?!?! They'd better pull about 97% of the vids on the site then.
Note to the rest of you: the video is shite without the real soundtrack, if may say so. And I may.
