EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Canadair CL-415 F-ZBEO - 36 in all its glory, as it sits on the tarmac at Orange-Caritat during a Porte Ouvert event on 14 May 2000. The sleek lines of this aircraft, belonging to the Securite civile (Civil Defence), are a testament to its impressive engineering and design.
However, tragedy struck this very plane five years later when it crashed after a structural failure while bravely attacking a fire at Pietramaggiore, near Calvi, Corsica, France on Monday 1 August 2005. This devastating incident serves as a reminder of the risks that pilots and emergency responders take every day in their efforts to protect lives and property from wildfires.
The Canadair CL-415 was an essential tool for firefighting operations due to its ability to scoop up water from bodies of water and drop it onto fires with precision. Its loss was deeply felt by the aviation community and those who rely on these aircraft for safety during wildfire season.
As we reflect on this poignant image of the Canadair CL-415 F-ZBEO - 36, let us remember the bravery and sacrifice of all those involved in aerial firefighting missions around the world. Their courage is truly commendable.
