#Aerialfirefighting is a complex enterprise that requires meticulous preparation, flexible deployment, and dedicated people. “This video captures the essence of the few moments before takeoff when concentration is crucial. Each water drop we complete reminds us of the importance of what we do and the critical role aerial firefighting plays in the fight against devastating wildfires.”, Michael Neuhuber, EVP Operations, Aquarius Aerial Firefighting S.à.r.l.. From takeoff to water drop, take a look at what it takes to get our team up in the air and ready for a mission. #FlyingToProtect #AquariusAFF
