@solventumhealth won the Coolest Thing Made In Minnesota competition on Tuesday for its Bair Hugger surgical warming blanket. The contest, put on by the @mnchamberofcommerce, pitted 64 different made in Minnesota products against each other.
The other finalists for the award were @atzmanufacturing's all-terrain wheelchair, @wipaire's water-scooping system turns aircrafts into high-powered wildfire fighters, and the @vistabuleteardrops from St. Paul. @charlierybak, TCB's VP of Innovation, takes us inside the contest in the video above.

Eficácia incomparável. 🔥✈️💧

No combate aos incêndios florestais, eficácia significa responder rapidamente, manter o ritmo da operação e colocar água sobre o fogo onde ela é necessária.

O AT-802F Fire Boss foi desenvolvido especificamente para o combate aéreo a incêndios, combinando agilidade, ritmo operacional e eficiência de custos em uma única plataforma.

Nenhum outro avião-tanque de combate a incêndios ataca áreas de interface florestal/urbana com a mesma combinação de agilidade, ritmo e eficácia do AT-802FB Fire Boss.

Equipado com flutuadores anfíbios Wipaire @wipaire , o Fire Boss pode amarar e realizar o scooping em lagos, rios e reservatórios adequados próximos à área de operação. Assim, retorna rapidamente ao incêndio para realizar novos lançamentos, mantendo ciclos contínuos por longos períodos sem precisar retornar a uma base a cada reabastecimento.

Em condições favoráveis e com a fonte de água próxima, um único Fire Boss pode entregar até 53.000 litros de água por hora em operações de ataque prolongado ou suporte às equipes em solo.

Como aeronave de ataque terrestre, também pode operar a partir de pistas não pavimentadas de aproximadamente 900 metros, permitindo o posicionamento de bases avançadas próximas às áreas de maior risco.

Agilidade para chegar.
Capacidade para lançar.
Ritmo para continuar combatendo.

Essa combinação transforma o AT-802F Fire Boss em uma ferramenta de alta eficácia para ampliar a capacidade de resposta aos incêndios florestais.

I don’t know whether it’s the @eaa or some wealthy donor to cover the fuel bill, but one way or another, we need to get the amphibious DC-3 to #airventure #osh27 next summer.

I think the owner should sell rides on it back and forth between Boeing Plaza and the seaplane base, just shuttling people back and forth all day.

This way, plenty of money can be earned while providing everyone with the constant entertainment of seeing it come and go throughout the day.

If you’re reading this and are in a financial position to help make this happen, please consider sponsoring such an endeavor!

Brent @american_air_pirate is sharing some very valuable insights about diverse, aviation, backgrounds, and how it applies to the fireboss eligibility as a Fireboss pilot but this is also true for aviation jobs. In general, the more diverse experience you bring to the table as any flight crew member the odds are that you'll be more valuable in that particular assignment.

And the reason, for this is quite simple. the more diversity of aircraft, weather, conditions and missions, that you expose yourself to, the more valuable experience you'll bring to the table no matter what the mission of your next flying assignment.

Pilot proficiency is built from education AND experience flying real-world missions.
