Insane Maneuvers by Firefighter Pilots

From the Department of Interestingness:

This plane has a utilitarian coolness about it. It's not sleek at all, but there's an appeal to it's chunky squared off edges. And the things they are doing to get those fires out are incredible. Do you know how hard it is to fly that close to a mountain without crashing into it? Shout out to these cowboys!

Apparently they do crash from time to time. If you scroll down you'll see one that didn't make it.
