First Float-Equipped AT-802F ‘FireBoss’ Delivered

In 1993 Air Tractor and Wipaire worked together to produce the amphibious scooper water bomber now known as the Fire Boss. Equipped with special Wipaire 10000 scooping floats, the single-engine air tanker quickly became a versatile firefighting aircraft for rapid initial attack and sustained attack of wildfires.

The first of these airplanes went to Canada-based Conair Group and to Avialsa in Valencia Spain.
