It is a nice looking plane. But for 30 million dollars that's a little pricey for a plane that can only do one thing. For that amount of money a Erickson Air Crane® Helicopter ( S-64 ) would be a better investment as to the many things the helicopter can do. True the maintenance cost would be more for the S-64 , but the S-64 can do so many things when it comes to generating revenue.

@@fly89 The S-64 E and F can carry 2,650 gallons (about 10,000 liters) of water or retardant in a tank installed precisely in line with the rotor.

the military has been spraying the hell out of us since BHO. Wake up. It is all legal. This shit is buried in all of these huge spending bills, etc.

@@girlssome3832 Nobody said its illegal. Just that it seems to be unnecessarily expensive. And its still only partly true. Military aircraft are simply a lot more complex which always drives up costs for both development and production. Of course even with that you can't fully explain the money sink that the F35 ended up being. That was one of those "seemed like a good idea at the time" projects that should have been replaced a long, long time ago. Its great that they can use a single plane for all military operations but given that the "same" plane has to be basically completely reconfigured for every purpose (army, navy, etc) that ended up providing a lot less benefit than they'd originally hoped for, but still drove up the per-unit production cost significantly (I think I saw $100m per plane? More than double the F16s currently in service). Its hard to say exactly when the F35 should have had the plug pulled. It fell well into the sunk cost fallacy and that's always a tricky one to analyze much deeper than "yup that turned out to be a bad choice", even with the benefit of hindsight. But regardless of when anyone thinks it _should_ have been cancelled, it never was. So there's now a few hundred in service and several hundred more scheduled for production. And I mean over the expected life of a military jet, a few hundred million isn't _that_ big a dip into even the US military budget never mind the larger US economy. Its perhaps somewhat wasteful but its not nearly as big of a deal as political pundits (on either side of the debate) would have you believe.

Well, I don't agree. We use them in Croatia and we all actually call them Canadairs. We all know how many lives and property they saved, and we are very proud of them and pilots flying them. We know that they will go where humans cannot go, and only bura (special wind in Croatia) and nightfall stops them. We've also sent our Canadairs to help put out big fires in other countries as Israel, Greece or Portugal. You should be proud of them, because we really love them - one of the few things that aren't a waste of taxpayers money!

@ Stan, My dad was a designer on the CL 215 and the mod on the 415 with the turboprop engines. His name is Ted Forster who is now 95 years old, maybe you knew him. He retired from Canadair in 1992.

You are so wrong, the entire Mediterranean salutes you! Just because it is not used in US does not mean it was not succeful. Their engines for us sounds like music. Cheers from Greece

its relative low order number is because... the damn things just fly forever! Even ancient 215s kept flying long hours in tough missions, long times with few issues. I remember reading somewhere that their toughness kept them from replacement until a total refit was due (from 215 to 415) for a given country.

Ah, the Hawaii Mars and the Philippine Mars water bombers. I visited here last year, but it was closed to visitors. I walked in anyway and asked a mechanic if I could take a few pictures. He said I needed authorization and directed me to Port Alberni airport to Coulson's headquarters. So I went there and talked to the CEO and was granted access. I went back to "tanker base" as they call it and took my pictures with a staffer who met me at the gate. Those planes are huge!

My buddy had a cabin on Sproat Lake in my teens and we went canoeing across the lake when one of the bombers decided to take off on that very lake. It felt like we were right in its path when it lifted off right in front of us it seemed. It took awhile before that big bird could climb up to an altitude that would allow it to pass over the surrounding mountains.

@@easysteezy58 the guy commenting probably means like other firefighting planes, not this one in particular

PM Mitsotakis weiss ganz genau, dass seine Wasserbomber (2 Stück) total veraltet sind (30 Jahre). 1 ist auch promt abgestürzt!!!

PBY is vaguely similar but wing root is very different and it's a much curvier aircraft with a narrowing, upswept aft fuselage. Mission profiles are day and night. Granted, they are more similar to each other than to much else that's flying. Grumman Albatross is is more similar to CL 415 but quite dumpy looking when compared to the Catalina.

Vickers Canada and Boeing Canada both manufactured large numbers Cansos (Canadian liscenced PBY Catalinas) during WWII. After the war Vickers Canada became a company called Canadair. Canadair was looking for a future use for its massive manufacturing pant near Montreal. It found a buyer in the Government of France for its proposed completely new design water bomber. Canadair took its knowledge of amphibious aircraft manufacturing and created a plane able to carry almost twice as much water as converted Cansos. The Canadair CL-214. Later ,while Bombardier owned the production rights, it would give them a tubo-prop engine upgrade creating the CL-415 Most recently Viking Air based in Victoria BC and Calgary AB bought the right for the CL-214 and CL-415 from Bombardier (who bought Canadair in 1988) Viking Air is starting the manufacture of an improved version of the CL-415 called the Canadair CL-515 First Responder. It’s first customer is set to be Indonesia. Delivery is set for 2022. There are other amphibious water bombing aircraft. But none with a design link directly to the Catalina.

@@Andy-bt9pn as mentioned at 1:30, the CL415 is based on the CL215 so naturally, they look alike; but apart from that there are no other aircraft in the world that look like the 415

To your average joe it may look similar to other aircraft. But to the well trained eye, there are discernable differences. It's like how to a normal person, a 737 looks the same as a 777 or an A320 or a 767, but to someone who knows planes, they can tell them apart based on small differences. Or how some cars might all look the same to someone who knows nothing about cars, but somebody who knows them better can tell them apart based on differences in them. But I'm just generalizing. I don't know for certain if this particular plane really does look just like other fire fighting planes, or if it's completely unique. I'm just saying, the differences between planes can be subtle if you don't know what to look for. Just like any other vehicle.

this one isn't. its only 1400 gallons

​@@frankyflowers 1400 gallons up to 10 drops an hour, versus a huge tanker that has to land to pump its tanks full again which can only fly perhaps a drop per hour or even longer. Add in that they often fly in groups to mount sustained attacks and it gives the fire a sustained beating, rather than a big punch occasionally. Also think of how a fire will continue and grow in the time between passes, they can grow enough in an hour that you'd not even know there was a drop 60 minutes ago. Sustained attack with short intervals between drops is the way to go. If the big birds were effective, then why are all 3 of the tanker-converted 747's grounded and inactive? The answer is they're not efficient, can't land at small airstrips, need huge temporary tanks or large water mains to refill and their cycle times take forever, plus the maintenance costs on them are astronomical. Sure, the 747s hold 19,600 gallons, but what about bad drops? They have to fly way higher that the CL-415's so their accuracy sucks and the dispersion is massive, and if they miss entirely its still another hour or whatever for them to land, tank up, take off and fly back to the fire. These CL-415's are the A-10 Warthog of water bombers, they're dump-trucks that can fly low & slow and nothing else does their job quite as well.

In Greece ,which has one of the largest fleet of these aircraft , many of the pilots are in their 50s

Engineer here: it has more to do with how full the tank is than how big the tank is. If you cram the tank 100% full like these planes are doing, there's no possibility for sloshing, and it's pretty safe. Dump the whole load, and once again, no sloshing. A fuel truck that only managed to deliver half a load is a worst case scenario. Not only do you have a liquid sloshing around, that liquid is _highly_ flammable

The tanker truck for the FD I was on holds 2000 gallons of water. When that thing was only half full it was difficult to drive, even with the baffles in the tank. After a fire we always tried to refill before going back to the station so we wouldn’t have to deal with the water sloshing in the tank.
