INTENSE FIREFIGHTING ACTION! - Canadair CL-415 Water Bomber - Croatian Air Force

Croatian Air Force Canadair CL-415 pilots showing their skill as one of the premier firefighting pilots on the planet. Today a wildfire erupted on the Kozjak mountain which is near Split, Croatia. The terrain was extremely challenging when approaching the fire since there's a near vertical cliff face near the peak of Kozjak. In some instances the CL-415 was channeling it's inner Stuka dive bomber when it just dove on that wildfire. Close to the wildfire there was a church a mountaineering house and a military radar base which were all saved thanks to the crews of the CL-415s and the firefighters on the ground who are as important as the firefighters from above.

im no pilot but to go into a steep dive like this while being fully loaded requires massive balls of steel.

[@erictremblay4940]

Superb Croatian pilots!! And congrats for keeping those birds perfectly maintained. Best regards from Quebec! (Home of Canadair in Montréal, where those planes were originaly designed and built)

Great! No music, just Nature and turboprop. Thx! Thanks

[@claudiocarbone2225]

Love the 415! Hats off to the pilots

[@scallywag6768]

Such an intense fight. Highly skilled pilots with excellent equipment. I have to mention that a number of pilots lost their lives, including my neighbor when I was a young boy, learning how to attack these fires as safely as possible. A lot of what we know today about aerial firefighting was learned the hard way by the pioneers fighting forest fires in British Columbia in the 1960s. Sadly as with all battles there are casualties.

[@TheHDAviation]

That is some amazing footage, such a challenging sight to battle this fire! Glad they were able to get it under control and save those buildings.

You have to see them live! Once they flew so low over my house, i thought i could touch them

[@Grabatire]

Although it is interesting and nice to watch these aircraft scooping up their loads; to see them dropping their loads and having a positive effect is even more so. The places the pilots sneak the aircraft into is amazing to say the least.

[@ThirstyforGod]

Great Job, God bless Croatian Air Force!

Fire fighting planes do have sirens, they use them to warn people on the ground that they are about to get soaked with water and fire retardant. This video has the spotter aircraft in the lead the "bird dog" using its siren. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWTFfJibg7aCn7c

[@lornespry]

Thanks for this amazingly filmed video. As the world's climate is changing and fires are becoming a major, destructive threat to the environment, property and the lives of humans and other animals, I keep on asking WHY is there not a huge production line cranking out these CL-415's in Canada and under licence elsewhere to equip so many countries with the ability to deal with the ever increasing destruction. I mean ... DUH! ... helicopters with buckets!!!??? Come on!!!
