100-degree view from between the control tower and the terminal at Fox Airfield (WJF), Lancaster, showing 2 Super Scoopers (Bombardier Canadair CL-415) and an Aero Union Air Tanker at sundown. The following air tankers are overnighting at Fox Field as shown: 06, 07, 09, 10, 11, 12, 43, 44, 45, 48, 55 were at the USFS Pad; Super Scoopers 264 and 266 were by the Tower; 00 and 27 from Aero Union were also by the tower.
I think these smaller aircraft were support/lead aircraft, and are among many that were parked at the USFS Pad: N23W, N14CP, N717PP.
There were 2 more aircraft incoming on left base for Rwy 24, but it was too dark to determine whether they were tankers or lead aircraft...plus I was driving...
Very good kegger28 you are 100% correct. Those are Cl-215s with R-2800 radial engines.
