| Klaatu83, e-mail, 25.06.2012 16:21 I witnessed an Italian example of this airplane water-bombing a wildfire in Calabria. It would alight in the Straits of Messina to scoop up a load of water, immediately take off, deposit it's load on the fire, come straight back and then repeat the operation all over again. It was very efficient, and very effective. reply | | Jeff K, e-mail, 31.03.2012 00:48 Does / did RCAF or Canadian Forces ever field an ASW or SAR version of a CL415 or CL215? I vaguely recall seeing an illustration (not photo) of one in dark grey with the Maple Leaf roundel. reply | | daxiong, 20.06.2011 06:23 I would like to ferry people between New York city and the Hamptons. reply | | Steven Sparks, e-mail, 04.11.2009 01:45 When you update this page, include the CL-415 Super-Scooper reply | |
