Thanks for posting this. I actually saw the plane/boat (whatever it is! ;)) today flying over Murrieta as it was heading south toward the Poomacha fire. Thanks Canada! :)

Just to let everyone know that this bomber is now here in California doing it's job. I am so proud of all of the men for the hard work and dedication to fighting these horrific fires in California. I am a proud Canadian living in the Southern California area and it's awsome to be part of this. Thank you U.S. government for bringing them to our state so that it won't go up in smoke.

Yes, when flying 2/3's of a football field, you need vision!! It's hard to describe just how big these flying boats are and the distinct sound of their roaring engines heard in the distance. Enjoy the show!! Hope you are safe and out of harms way. Cheers from the neighbors!!

Thanks for sharing! We are quite proud of these planes here in Canada and understand they have been sitting idle and just doing test runs on the lake there since arrival. Tell Gov. Arnold to get this plane up and dropping. It's just too valuable of a fire tool to have sitting still and we here in BC know it's capability is beyond belief. May God bless all those going thru difficult times right now. and cheers to all fire crews in the air, land and water. Stay Safe!!

It's a shame they didn't call for it sooner.

No kidding! Was so frustrating seeing our lake closed and watching this plane just sit as so many homes were being destroyed. Hey, I'm an LE transplant from HB, too. :)

No, thank you guys for sharing this plane! She finally went to work on Friday afternoon and did at least two drops that I know of. These short clips were taken as she returned from the first drop. We were told the reason for the delay was that it was just too smokey for her to safely fly. As soon as the heavy smoke cleared, however, she did take off and flew right over my house.
