those cl215t's are owned by alberta forestry
they are operated by air spray and registered to air spray under the terms of the contract.
also alberta forestry has a pretty descent fleet of water bombers that are contacted by con air, and air spray every fire season for last 40+ years

In the real world of water bombers , the AT802 Fire Boss is really the class act of the sky's . Flying in a group of 5-6 dumping 3200gallons of water - retardant pre pass with a quick turn around time will out preform all and any of the so called big boys .

The enviromental activist clowns love a good forest fire.

The smoke, flames, air quality, displacement of families, loss of property and posssesions make great headlines to further their narrative of the climate change bogeyman. The more drama and finger pointing the better, include a few deaths to the mix and that's icing on the climate cake.

How else can you explain the cause of these forest fires?, or so the MSM headlines read.

As if forest fires are some sort of phenomena that this planet has never experienced.

I am staying at Roland’s on the River. The water bombers and choppers were going hard yesterday. Little bit of rain overnight and they are not running much today
