This is a promotional video demonstrating Air Tractor’s AT-802F and the amphibious version, the Fireboss. Some of the aircraft are operated by Airspray who recently acquired two of the single engine air tankers adding to their fleet of L188 Electras and a BAe-146.
And speaking of the Fireboss, we just ran across the video below that was uploaded to YouTube in 2008. Somehow the aircraft lost the ability to completely stay afloat.
Interesting, I wonder who the promotional video is aimed towards? There seems to be widespread buy-in for both 802 versions throughout North America, Europe, Australia and beyond.
Perhaps this is the company simply stating: “hey, we have them too”?

(I have not seen an unwinged version of the AT-802.)
Maybe they know about a planned gyrocopter 😉
