About the CL-215

The Canadair CL-215, known as the “Super Scooper,” was purpose-designed for aerial firefighting. It can scoop 1,400 gallons of water from a lake in just 12 seconds while skimming the surface, then drop the load on forest fires. First flying in 1967, the CL-215 and its successor the CL-415 remain in active firefighting service worldwide. The amphibious hull, high wing and twin-engine layout make it one of the most distinctive aircraft flying today.
