What aircraft is that in the opening video? It would be a graet repaint.

The first aircraft depicted are S-2T Turbo Trackers, versions of the good ol S-2 Tracker fitted with turbo props. There a few samples of fire bombing trackers. The "Grumman 7" set has the original radial Tracker in these colors. A french site has a turbo tracker, it might be here too.
