The "Hughes" Fire Canadair Super Scooper Refill
Вставка

- This is a quick throw together of some shots I got from my phone of the "Hughes" fire while in Saugus, as well as the Canadair Super Scoopers refilling their tanks at the Bouquet Canyon Reservoir on 22Jan2025...
Thank you to all the fire fighters and first responders for protecting our communities...
Our prayers go out to everyone affected by the recent fires...
Much love!
Canadian aircraft, Canadian pilots, Canadian ingenuity. Love these shots.
In Canada, we call them water bombers. Somehow, when they crossed the 49th parallel, they became Super Scoupers. Everything needs to become more amazing in the USA.
Tarriff free assistance. , 🍁🍁 Stay safe everyone.
Those are Canadair CL-415s. They can carry just over 6100 litres/1600 US gallons that can be dumped in 2 seconds. Their time on the water for a full refill is 12 seconds.
As can be seen with both 415s in this clip, strangely they're both on the water for only 6-7 seconds with ample water ahead of them and terrain ahead that wouldn't require a quick and steep ascent. There's got to be a sound reason why they're only taking 1/2 loads but I can think of what it might be.
Good eye Maxxis! The footage was sped up for time constraints.
@@FANmilySportsVideo yep, run the water pickup segment at 0.5x to get a true playback.
@@FANmilySportsVideo I did miss the 2x speed playback. It's not hard to do so when their flat water refill speed is in the neighbourhood of 200kms/h (all things being ideal - wind, water wake, ample room for take-off, et al.). The CL-415s max flying speed is 376 km/h (233 mph) with a normal "cruising" speed is 240kms/h. They may look like cumbersome ugly ducklings, but whatever they're doing, they're doing at speeds that other fire fighting aircraft are jealous of.
Wait til the CL-515s are ready to go (2028 fire season). Approx water capacity increase of 900 litres/250 gallons with a fill time of only 14 seconds.
I wouldn't necessarily say that... the Sikorsky S-64 Skycranes are the ugly ducklings of aerial fire suppression LoL
You seem very knowledgeable in the subject matter though. Do you know if the company/organization that operates the Canadair's has a website or social media page? I am looking to tag them in a Instagram post.
@@FANmilySportsVideo Wouldn't necessarily say what?
We need to give the Americans a spotlight with a maple leaf on the lense. 🍁
Yeah those are Canadians with Canadians crew, we lone them to California when its on fire but we should really bring them back the "51" state... Disrespect you have a price.
No, if we did that we would be as bad as Cheeto-Man. The innocent people losing their homes have nothing to do with this.
It is called a water bomber not a super scooper.
Canadair water bombers. Not super scupper. And why speed up the video and block the sound?
you would think LA should have a fleet of these but there seems to only be 2 of them.
You don't seem to know that these are Canadian units on loan (at non charge!) from your "enemy" to the north.
Bien dit.
@ Merci. Il faut eduquer le Américains.🖖
You know these planes are approximately $35 million each right? DH also has a huge back order of planes in the pipeline.
@@tomdoris3424 I think Canadians are being deceived by most of our elected, we have people hired for certain jobs that were not doing said jobs creating this problem prompting this outcome, do you really blame them.
Our open borders to anyone with or without a pulse has most Canadians on edge as well. Look at Moncton NB for example 2nd fastest growing city in Canada and we have no idea who they are or even if they are here legally so most stay in out of fear as the crime rate has gone up significantly as well.
Also most are from cultures with little respect for women and I see this first hand in my line of work.
Just a heads up, there's a tariff on sending Canadian water bombers to the US.
You made me laugh... Cheers.
PS: To Americans... I'm a Canadian. We MIGHT put a tariff on Maple Syrup, but NEVER on helping out people in need. We are NOT like your MAGAts...
@@TheJimprez LoL!!
1600 gallons of sea water could take out a golf course if needed
@ BTW, I live Northern Ontario, right on the border. I'm pretty f--- far from Maga.
USA your welcome
Did "Baron" Trump pick the musak?
That is a weak joke. He's just a kid, leave him out of this... Guilt by association is not a thing. His DAD is an arse, and so are his dumber brothers... But that kid? I have NO idea what he thinks... And neither do you...
Another perfectly good video ruined by craptastic music.
boo hoo
And 3x speed...
I liked it. Aggressive music to fight an aggressive fire.
With USA tarifs we will keep our CL plane in our coutry ....don' t call Trump the answer is no
Thats what Felons do.
The south end of a north-bound horse in the White House doesn’t care…California is a Democrat state.
