When you update this page, include the CL-415 Super-Scooper

The later version of this all-Canadian aircraft was even more efficient, the radials being replaced with turbos.

Is there a way to locate scale drawings of the CL 215? Better yet is there a 3D graphic that can be revolved on a computer screen?

I would like to know about the passenger carrying capabilities of this aircraft and where one can be physically seen. I would like to ferry people between New York city and the Hamptons.

Do you have any comments about this aircraft ?
