Festa al Cel 2019 ✈️ Air Tractor AT-802 Firefighters! - HD 50fps

Beautiful flight demonstration by 'FAASA Aviación' (Now Pegasus Aero Group) AT-802 Air Tractor firefighter aircraft performing super-low altitude flybys and water-drops at Festa al Cel 2019 in the airport of Lleida-Alguaire (LEDA).

The Air Tractor AT-802 is an agricultural aircraft that has also been adapted into fire-fighting or armed versions. It first flew in the United States in October 1990 and is manufactured by Air Tractor Inc. The AT-802 carries a chemical hopper between the engine firewall and the cockpit. In the U.S., it is considered a Type III SEAT, or Single Engine Air Tanker.

In its standard configuration, the aircraft utilizes conventional landing gear (two main wheels and a tail wheel). However, a number of aircraft have been converted to the Fire Boss aerial firefighting configuration, which utilizes Wipaire 10000 amphibious floats, so that it can land on a traditional runway or on water. The Fire Boss can scoop water from a lake or river for use on a fire. In addition to the 3100 L standard fuselage-mounted retardant tank, the Fire Boss can have optional 130 L foam tanks in the floats. Operations with floats installed have been shown to produce a shorter and narrower retardant drop pattern than wheeled AT-802s.

Variants:
AT-802 - two seat (tandem) cockpit
AT-802A - single-seat cockpit
AT-802U - two seat (tandem) armored military version, modified with sensors and reinforced for weapons carriage
AT-802F or AT-802AF - An aerial firefighting model 802 equipped with the Air Tractor Computerized Firegate
AT-802L Longsword - An ISR and light-attack aircraft based on AT-802U, which developed by L3 Platform Integration collaboration with Air Tractor.
