Low res front Portside view of 'National Jet Systems' Canadair CL-215-I C-FTXC MSN 1008 Code 226 (Super Scooper) doing a wheels down ‘low/slow’ pass at Avalon YMAV on 21Feb1997. Image taken at the 1997 Avalon (YMAV) International Airshow. Record high temperatures in Europe during July 2023 made similar aircraft indispensable when ‘wildfires’ broke out in multiple countries, including Greece where an (updated) CL-415 crashed with the loss of both pilots.
