---------------------------------------------------

The CL-415, formerly produced by Canadair, now Bombardier, air tanker is known as the "Super Scooper."

That term is derived from the fact that it can scoop its load from a body of water in only twelve seconds. It needs a path over the water a mere 300 feet in width with a depth of only slightly more than six feet. This means that a large number of water sites are available for reloading its tanks. In addition it does not need a completely straight path while scooping.

The CL-415 multi role is a derivative of the Canadiar 215 amphibious aircraft. With its amphibious capabilities, it is ideal for use in parts of the world where there are long coast lines and many islands to survey.

A total of 76 CL-415 aircraft have been produced to date.
