Immense respect à tous ces pilotes d’avions qui combattent le feu. Deux d’entre eux y ont laissé leurs vies en Grèce récemment. Les soldats du feu, en l’air et sur terre seule leur guerre est juste et estimable. ❤

Awesome footage of these CL-415's in action, that was so cool to see. That fire sure did look threatening and close to the city!

[@fsxpro9758]

These fires is from city Trogir and Kastel Stafilic 2.7.2017, Big fire in Croatia near city of Split 17-18.7.2017 and fire on 3.8.2020 near the Solin city. Very specatular acrobats pilots from Croatia. 🇭🇷🇭🇷

When people ask me what's the difference between Canada and America... i always say the Bombers built here drop water.😂

[@user-co8uy5rb2s]

Because usa has to protect them with real bombers.

And the ones that drop bombs you buy from us.

America is a continent and Canada is a country located in the American continent. Sorry but that’s the correct difference.

It's an attempt to portray Canada as ultra peaceful. Yet. They too were heavily involved in "Bush's oil war". Hahahahaha...

[@tracyishealing911]

If you watch footage on board you can see the crews’ heads pitch forward a little when the probes hit the water. One pilot, in training was advised just before contact with the water ‘now hang on tight to it…’ In the film I watched there were three crew members on board, maybe for training? Incredible aircraft and very skillful pilots.

[@Alan-oo2cq]

I think the world's largest water bomber runs out of Canada.I think near Vancouver.Sorry if I'm wrong Great planes and wonderful Canadian tradition.Nice video,!!!! ✌️🇨🇦😎👍👍👍👍👍

[@Alan-oo2cq]

Bomber is the Martin Hawaii mars Massive 4 prop Magnificent plan!🇨🇦😎👍

[@douggarson50]

There are two Martins left, neither are active or considered airworthy. One (Philippine Mars) was restored to it's 2nd World War configuration as a cargo plane and sent to a Navy museum in Florida about a decade ago, the other (Hawaii Mars) is on it's way to the B.C. Aviation Museum on Vancouver Island in its current configuration as a water bomber. Haven't seen them fly other than in videos but saw them on the ground and on the water, impressive big planes.

[@rEdf196]

Our province of British Columbia Canada need more planes like the CL 415

[@T410ce]

Alberta as well. We have all of four old CL-215’s at our disposal, last year our county ALONE had more than 600,000 hectares burn. I was told that Bell 204’s with buckets are more effective… yeah I doubt it. Those choppers turnaround time with a bucket swinging underneath is ridiculous.

[@katanamaki9015]

The CL 215, 215T and the 415 are very effective wildfire fighting aircraft. However the type of aircraft being used can depend on several factors such as terrain, type of vegetation burning, altitude where the target fire is burning and of course water availability such as streams or lakes nearby. Sometimes rotary wing or smaller fixed wing aircraft are the better choice to attack wildfires.

[@TENpilot]

Amazing nose diving 😮

[@JFrazer4303]

Apparently that was a very great fire, with treacherous winds. The whole foothills area as affected.

[@nicholaspatton1742]

First load was perfect, low like a smash of water, the second was a ineffective due to it release at too high an altitude. The water hangs in the air atomizing and spreading out. Misting the ground ineffectively.

[@joseph2095]

These are great firefighting aircraft. The problem with most videos of them I've seen is the results of their drops are not shown, but they love showing the drops, just not the results, because the cameraman follows the plane away from the drop.

[@austerepanic9461]

i have no knowledge of how this works, does that small amount of water do anything? what is the purpose? it looks like it vaporizes before reaching the ground? just curious.

[@lengould9262]

The plane usually drops 6,100 liters of water+retardant-if-used in pretty much 1 lump at like 220 kmh (other patterns available). The misting you see is just draining bits of water caught in drop door hinges, irrelevant. The main drop spreads along about 100 meters of path, about the width of a 2 lane road. No fire remains in the target area. If it hits you direct it will likely injure you so stay clear. Like getting hit with a 6 ton water tank at 200 kmh.

It is interesting that the funds are intended for the maintenance of these Croatian aircraft from European funds. There, the Croats pledged to help each other in putting out fires. But when someone else needs help Is the aircraft undergoing repairs or is it occupied elsewhere. But if he manages to get there, the pilot decides not to put out the fire and goes back to Croatia. With all the mischief they do with airplane, they are afraid of one Karst? OMG

[@dootdoot1867]

These things take stupid amounts of abuse with crazy high uptime during season, they have to be completely dismantled and reassembled during maintenance cycles. If taken care of they will last 100 years.

[@dannyboy-vtc5741]

This is so dumb, our canadairs flew everywhere, from israel to portugal, two years ago when the fires were everywhere we sent one each to greece and turkey, if nowhere else they are in bosnia and montenegro every summer, you sound like a salty slovenian that is pissed off his country doesn't operate them. It is normal that often the weather envelope doesn't allow them to operate, nothing new, we also often have fires with jeavy winds when we can't do a thing about it.

Looks like the Canadians could learn a few lessens from these guys..! Good on Croatia and shame on Canada.!

[@cappiesrme91]

Great video and great skill yes! But @donnyboy, you may need to get a bit enlightened - this masterpiece is a product of Canadian genius and was manufactured here! Do you think they would build something like this without knowing how to fly it?! Look at the sophisticated technology involved! “Credit belongs to the man in the arena….”

[@m1t2a1]

Canadians designed and built the plane. Then they trained them. Now where does the shame fit in there? Also, you need to learn how to spell.

[@spitfirenutspitfirenut4835]

What lesson?

[@dannyboy-vtc5741]

​@@cappiesrme91that's true, however, a year or two ago, on an another channel that showed them in action around rijeka i've seen the official viking channel in the comments asking if they can use the footage for their promo. Also when they helped in israel, their pilots took a bow, and israeli pilots know their flying, but i'm sure canada has good pilots too, anyone operating these aircraft needs to be on the top of their game, ours are operated by the airforce, and average canadair pilot is in the rank of a major or colonel, guys that flew a lot in theit career.

[@douglasmilligrock4151]

Spraying directly on the fire is just as important to minimize the spread of the fire,not just in the areas where it isn't burning.
