CL-215 Water Scoopers in MN

This is a nice short video where the pilot shows off one of two CL-215 Water Scoopers used by the MN DNR for aerial firefighting. The Water Scoopers are based at Brainerd DNR Air Tanker Base on the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport. There is a short article on the two scoopers that may be found here, that includes the video that I embedded above and a couple of photos. I'd like to thank Michael Archer who included a link to this article in his April 4 Firebomber Publications Blog.
