Canadair CL-215 water bomber model airplane

The Canadair CL-215 was an amphibian designed primarily for firefighting in Canada, although it was also available to military customers for search and rescue and utility roles. For its fire-fighting role the CL-215 can lift 5455 liters (1440 gal.) of water or retardant fluid in two fuselage tanks. The water is scooped from a convenient lake or river through two retractable inlets mounted under the hull, while the CL-215 taxies across the surface. It then takes off and flies to the area of the fire where the load is jettisoned in under a second. The operation repeated until the fire is under control. In most circumstances a load can be dropped at least every 10 minutes. (Of course, a nearby water source is essential.) The CL-215 first flew on October 23, 1967, and when production ceased in April 1990, 125 had been delivered, many to foreign countries.

All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
