I first saw them when driving on Legion Drive, at about 3pm. I was in the West College parking lot, then near the lake, where I took these videos. Didn't notice it, just hadn't seen this many water bombers before

did you notice the quebec planes don't take full loads? Not true to say this. The Ontario Tankers got there from working a fire to the west of Timmins and were on this fire at least 1 hour before the 2 Quebec tankers arrived directly from Val dor. The Ontario tankers had a much lighter fuel loads The Quebec tankers also carry a much higher fuel load for initial attack enough for 5 hours while Ontario only fuels for 4.
