VP-50: Water Bombing Forest Fires......

The view from the cockpit!  What a lesson in coordination!  Four hands, four feet, and six eyes - all working as one!

Bombardier Aerospace Montreal made these aircraft. They don't "motor around" to fill the tanks---they touch down at approach speed, open the fill scoops, add lots of power and the tanks fill in seconds.

There's one scene in the film where you can see the two tank level gauges rapidly go up.  The other neat thing is watching the magnitude of the flight control inputs, especially aileron, as they are maneuvering down low
