Air Tractor AT-802F FIRE BOSS : Amphibious scooper water bomber

Air Tractor Europe, in a joint venture with Saab Support and Services, recently delivered to Sweden in 2020 the second of two Air Tractor AT-802F Fire Boss scooper water bombers.
The Fire Boss scooper air tanker, is able to land on and scoop water from nearby lakes, rivers and reservoirs. From a nearby water source, the 802F Fire Boss can deliver up to 14,000 gallons per hour for extended attack or ground support. An unimproved runway or water-side ramp and fuel are all it needs to be a highly cost-effective forward attack air tanker.
The video demonstrates the aircrafts agility and scooping techique. There are several demonstrations of the fire boss releasing/bombing water.
