Waterbombing fire in Quebec

While hiking on Lac Pemichangan in Quebec, my wife and I found ourselves in perfect position to witness a Canadair CL-415 SuperScooper waterbomb a brush fire several times.

Really cool; your Dad said he didn't know any of that was going on, I guess it was fairly near the cabin? S'pose you were further out. Hey, my first youtube post, yay. See you soon, JS

Even though the fire was quite close from this vantage point, a strong north wind was carrying the smoke away from the lake. Few people we talked to seemed to know there was a fire. I guess it looked like they were doing practice touch and go landings.

This is really nice! And SuperScooper has to be coolest name ever given to an airplane :)

5/5. This is some of the best footage of Canadairs in action on YouTube.

Beautiful vid. love how the planes goes down on the lake, so calm. And how he bombs towards the wind. Making it more effective and misses less. :). I wish I could visit canada someday. 5 stars

That is why the cl-415 was made for. Beautiful lake.
