It's a great airplane and Canada needs this sort of capacity. We have quite a few 215s and 415s, just not nearly enough.<br /><br />It should be possible to design a multi-role successor to the 415 that would have<br />both water bomber and other needed capabilities for the off-fire season period. <br /><br />We're told that we're going to need to expand ever northward during the balance of this century. It's time to begin meeting that challenge.

They've been warned for years now this is happening and it's getting worse and they've done nothing.<br /><br />As for NPoV's "let it burn" suggestion, I don't agree. Here on the island we've been spared some terrible fires by quick response work of those Martin Mars water bombers. The important thing is always to get onto the fire quickly so that it can be first contained and then extinguished.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-12472124827320007752016-05-07T08:50:21.566-07:002016-05-07T08:50:21.566-07:00Even though these planes look like they'd be a...Even though these planes look like they'd be awkward and clumsy, there is something elegant about them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842215982128591742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-24022183424210291172016-05-07T07:42:17.524-07:002016-05-07T07:42:17.524-07:00You might find this interesting.

The fire is a...Resistance is futile. Let it burn.<br /> <br />The fire is a symptom of our changing climate. In this case boreal forest is no longer sustainable. The same could happen to our 'rain forest' on the coast. <br /><br />Fighting this (instead of ceasing emissions and attempting some low-tech agri-based carbon capture) is just pissin' in the wind. (And adding CO2.)<br /><br />Perhaps 'carbon refugees' would be a better monniker than 'climate refugees' though both would be considered impolite by our chattering classes who prefer to ignore the 800 pound gorilla on the back of the elephant in the room.<br /><br />The world hates our dilbit. An abandoned Fort McMurray (or a rebuild as a green energy center) would be a good outcome for this disaster.<br />Northern PoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670080478290108536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-75641904056660984712016-05-07T06:58:23.884-07:002016-05-07T06:58:23.884-07:00they would make good drones to patrol the borders ...they would make good drones to patrol the borders as wellStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.com
