Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.

Airtankers in Action: CL 215/415 aka Super Scoopers (from 2021)

Enjoy two videos of Super Scoopers in action, both are from the 2021 fire season. For more information and specifications on the different models of CL215/415 aka Super Scoopers, see Viking Aircraft.

I believe that Scooper in the first video was on loan from the Province of Quebec in Canada to Southern California, see Bill Gabbert's September 2021 article on Fire Aviation for more information.
