With the fires out west you know they are out working. Also, if you need an aviation themed tearjerker you should checkout Always. Here is a modern day water bomber at work...

I’m very interested in knowing how that turned out

Me too. No information on the site where I found it, and the majority of YT comments are in French. But I did find this one and ran it through Google Translate.

Sounds like it lost a pontoon but continued on.

No good and damn close to the people.

You see the second 415 landing behind the first and it’s already angling towards the boats. I would think this one is on the pilots. It could have been a catastrophe.

I loved that opening scene from Always when I was a kid. I used to put in the laser-disc and just watch that scene over and over again. I don’t think I ever saw the whole movie.

Hawaii Mars!

Finally got wifi in my new place, I’ve had this post open on my phone for pretty much ever it seems and can finally come back to watch the videos, haha.

I lived as a kid near the lake these old war birds were based from. Super cool to see them in action. Shame they’re not seeing much any more.

Because it’s a prop plane you forget just how big it is so it looks like it’s just barely hanging in the sky... Until it flies over.
