The AT-802 is a Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT) and has served with distinction on the front lines of wildfires for more than 10 years. It is a fast, maneuverable aircraft that is operationally effective and economical. The AT-802 can be programmed to discharge its 3 000-litre load in pre-set volumes and intervals, enabling the pilot to optimize water and retardant dispersal and to make precision drops on a number of critical points on fire. Kishugu Aviation owns and operates the only four AT-802’s in South Africa. Kishugu Aviation has 30 years experience in aerial firefighting, and is still growing from strength to strength to save lives, property and the environment. PICTURE: CAROLYN FROST
