5 Features That Made The Canadair CL-415 Such A Good Waterbomber

The Canadair CL-415, which has also been referred to as the Super Scooper and the Bombardier 415, is an amphibious aircraft originally designed by Canadair but later manufactured by Bombardier and De Havilland Canada. The aircraft, alongside its successor the De Havilland Canada DHC-515, were both based on the earlier Canadair CL-215 and were originally designed for aerial firefighting, although the planes have been deployed for other roles such as transport and search and rescue (SAR).
