Dog Fight

This was a water bomber coming down to fill up with water to fight a bushfire, it looked like the pilot was lining me up for a strafing run.

Appreciated!

Water bombing Air Craft picking up water from Lake Conjola New South Wales Australia to fight out of control bushfires in the Milton Ulladulla area.
The pilot doesn't stop, they just skim along the surface and fills up the two pontoons with water so that they can dump in over the bushfires.

Here's some videos I shot as well if you're interested -

Great vids and great flying skills by the pilot too! Always think the Air Tractor is a purposeful looking plane.

Thanks for the heads up that the plane is called an Air Tractor.
