AT-802F Single Engine Air Tanker    

For over a decade now, the Air Tractor AT-802F has served with distinction at the front lines of wildfires around the globe. As an initial attack air tanker, the AT-802F is appreciated among aerial firefighting circles as a fast, maneuverable aircraft that’s both operationally effective and economical. Designed from the wheels up to fight wildfires, it uses an advanced, patented computer-controlled firegate to deliver optimum coverage levels with extreme accuracy.

AT-802F "Fire Boss" 

Equipped with Wipaire amphibious floats, Air Tractor’s AT-802F “Fire Boss” adds yet another dimension of capability for fire fighters. It can scoop 820 gallons of water in 30 seconds and be on its way again to the front lines in just minutes.

With the ability to work as a land-based aircraft or a scooper, the “Fire Boss” can drop an initial load of retardant then remain close to the fire by scooping water from a nearby lake.
