Last crawled date: 3 years ago

the canadair cl-415 in spain called "botijo" is an amphibious aircraft built originally by canadair and subsequently by bombardier and viking aircraft. it is based on the canadair cl-215 and is designed specifically for aerial firefighting; it can perform various other roles, such as the search and rescue and utility transport. development of the cl-415 commenced in the early 1990s, shortly after the success of the cl-215t retrofit programme had proven a viable demand for a turboprop-powered model of the original cl-215
