On the news it said that it was the first time that they had been used. I'm glad I was there to watch. It must be very Scary to fly into the ocean to scoop up water.

Those planes look like a crash waiting to happen. I can't imagine how you could scoop water out of the ocean like that and NOT lose all of your airspeed and stall out. That's gotta be REALLY tricky.

make sure you check out "H.A.F Canadair CL-415 Tribute (R.I.P BROTHERS)" the video has some close up shots of the plane.

Thanks for the link, Nota! It does make a lot more sense seeing that they're amphibians. They can LAND on the water. Still, what they're doing is a difficult and sometimes dangerous job.

You're welcome, I admire their skill- Watching the news (right now) it looks like they maybe needed again in So.Calf.
There are more fires.

Great camera angle on them landing in the sea, looked a bit like it was playing skippers lol.

A few times they flew right over me standing on the beach- it was hard to see if they were in the shot because of glare(so it was luck.. not skill that got the camera angles LOL)
