In January we posted a video of some “43 Grupo” CL-215/415 scooper air tanker operations. Now there is another video available about these folks, who I believe are in Spain.

  1. Agreed scoopers are great another tool in the box!
    Brought back memories of rough, hot , hot air and
    “you want us to do What!? ” to the Air Attack or
    Lead Plane…
    Great film…

  2. “you want us to do what”? (reply) “I think we can do that”? lets give this a try,” I’m on the downwind now, have you insight.” you never decline a drop. I believe TG we meet at Chico AAB during the big fire bust a few years ago; you were flying the “7″.
