Tim Sheehy is a graduate of the US Naval Academy, a retired Navy Seal, a multi-engine seaplane pilot, and the CEO of Bridger Aerospace.
Bridger specializes in aerial firefighting, primarily the ground to air reconnaissance and organization of assets in the air, as well as providing support using their "Super Scooper" seaplanes.
Wildfires are one of the most devastating economic and environmental issues of our time, and the type of flying that is required to control them is arguably the most demanding in all of aviation. In this episode of Adventure Flying, Tim discusses how seaplanes have made a tremendous contribution to fighting fires by air, as well as how they've added to the adventure. Here is what else is needed to better contain wildfires, and how he went from Navy Seal to running an aerial firefighting company.
