Commonly called a Canadair after its original manufacturer — is unique in the market for its size and maneuverability. It can hold as much as 6,137 liters of water.
In a quick swoop, the planes scoop up water from lakes or seas — filling up in 12 seconds
De Havilland said there are approximately 160 Canadair planes in operation in 10 countries: Turkey, Morocco, Canada, the US, France, Croatia, Spain, Italy, Greece and Malaysia.
There are other aircraft capable of water bombing, but they either hold less extinguishing agent or they’re good for one big drop before needing to return to a station for a slower refill.
Canadairs, on the other hand, can circle back and skim an open body of water again and again, refilling almost at full speed.
