A little bit more info on the USA implication of the CL415.... """"The CL-215, CL-215T and Bombardier 415 are sold in the U.S. under the name of SuperscooperTM aircraft family The size of the Superscooper family in the U.S. consists of six CL-215 currently operating across the United States, particularly in the northern region and in Alaska. Two of them were purchased by the Sate of Minnesota and one, by the State of North Carolina. Aero Flite, a private operator based in Kingman, Arizona, purchased three CL-215 in 2003. On the lease front, there is a long-term agreement between the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the government of Quebec, Canada for the services of two Bombardier 415. """""" I think that the US could afford a few more...... Ben
