Amentum handles everything from mechanic training to flying crews—especially for fixed-wing planes like the OV-10, S-2, and new C-130s—ensuring pilots have thousands of hours before even stepping onto Cal Fire’s crews. With fire seasons stretching longer and dangers multiplying in smoke-choked skies, Amentum’s extended contracts mean more pilots stay on year-round. Over four years, they’ve added 125 new professionals, and with wildfire threats growing, this partnership delivers crucial stability, cutting-edge tech, and battle-ready aircraft to protect California’s skies.
