Coulson is a Canadian company too. A new, upgraded version of the CL-415 is on the drawing boards. They won't help now, but more are needed for future disasters
The CL215s are hard to keep in service because they are piston engines. The 415s are Pratt and Whitney turbines - made in Canada. The Canadair production line was shut down and bought by De Havilland. With good marketing, the CL515 will always a customer base.
The fire down there looks terrifying, so much destruction. I hope you're staying safe, and that you don't live too close to the affected areas. Great footage of these impressive aircraft in action, love the DC-10 tanker and nice to see the Quebecois CL-415's down there!
0:36 That's an old plane! Long obsolete as an airliner. I remember seeing these at the airport as a kid in the early 90s. Amazing to see these still in use even if they have been relegated to use as tankers or for air cargo.

@123danyk123 I don't know French, but it was easy to read your message. As an LA native and big fan of the Super Scoopers, I say thank you for your good wishes. Bless Canada for their contribution to our many battles with wildfire.
Nice catches, it's unfortunate that these aircraft have to battle six different fires due to the Archer fire that started yesterday in Granada Hills. One was also grounded after it was hit by a drone the other day.
Good news is now as I'm writing all fires but the Palisades & Eaton Fires are almost fully contained. Thank you very much for watching and yes we are very lucky that we didn't have the Super Scooper crash because of that drone. 👍😎
@@LIL-RED-BIRD There is a video from Spain. A guy was aboard a cruise ship in port and FOUR of them flew in formation, skimmed the water up and flew back to the fire! Somewhere in Spain.
WHat part of the plane was hit, and where was the location? I saw the super scoopers flying over us just before 1pm, and the news mentioned that it happened around that time. I'm wondering if it was the 2 boys that went into the canyon and left immediately after they flew over us back to Van Nuys. The boys had a drone when i saw them walk into the canyon😊
Awesome array of aircraft although, their mission is a sad reality of such a horrific tragedy. Excellent video Ed, thank you for posting. Hope you enjoyed your holidays! Regards from Orange County; - Larry
Trump needs to think about the resources we send south during these types of events. Hydro crews after Hurricanes. Air crews and firefighters for forest fires. Lets not forget Halifax on 9/11 the number of Americans we helped out. I'm a MAGA guy, conservative, Id vote republican, but he really needs to stop shooting from the hip and take better aim.
Sorry but an = IDIOT = making hurtful remarks and name-calling doesn't have either the empathy for the people nor the COMMON SENSE DECENCY to speak in POSITIVE terms to help anybody. We, in the affected areas, THANK CANADA and its people for the timely help in EVERY U.S. wildfire situation. But, the soon-to-be POTUS (who also thought that a nuke dropped into a hurricane would stop it and drew a BOGUS line around a part of AL, claiming a hurricane was going to hit that area when NOAA CLEARLY indicated the true path differently!!) that will begin his "kingly reign" in a couple of weeks, can be counted on to ALWAYS talk trash and act in an IGNORANT and LYING manner!!
It's wild that I've seen the 2 Super Scoopers and the Chinook 3 weeks ago in a Pepe's Towing Service video while they unloaded a ABC News helicopter and I was in awe. I had a deja vu moment watching this. Those are some amazing machines
Thank you very much for watching 👍😎 Here is my video of the first flight back in action of the ABC News Chopper ua-cam.com/video/NQepvxRTpW0/v-deo.html
I hope Trump appreciates the resources Canada is providing to fight these fires. Canada will always be there to help our neighbor in times of need even though we not the fifty first state. Hopefully this disaster ends soon so people can start rebuilding their lives.
Most planes drop fire retardant, like Phos-Chek. Usually, it's a red powder mixed with water at an air-tanker base. The nearest base to this fire is Fox Field in Lancaster. The DC-10 can only be accommodated by a few tanker bases in the state, the nearest is San Bernardino. I'm pretty sure some of the helicopters were using sea water, suppose they prefer not to. Like the times I've seen them dropping dirty water from small reservoirs.
No the one that was hit by the drone has about a 1 1/2 hole in the left wing, right on the leading edge just about 24 inches to the right of the wing lite
Nice footage Ed, thats crazy! Would I be able to use your clip in my compilation? I'll make sure to give credit by including your channel name original video in the description and on screen!
What airport was this shot at? Van Nuys or Burbank? I live near Burbank Airport and this doesn’t look like that. I see many of the DC-10’s flying here and curious where they refill? Thanks!
@@keithhaire8935 Thank goodness he got back okay. But now he's s grounded. I hope the guy they showed in cuffs on the news was either the drone pilot or the arsonist. Hopefully, federal prison awaits.

Californians need to all ask the Californian authorities why they haven’t purchased a Superscooper yet. Demographically California is the same size as Canada. If McGill University can produce a superscooper why isn’t a Californian University producing their own version?
A friend of mine is on 72 hrs Notice To Move from his small town rural Quebec volunteer department to assist CalFire in the mix of mutual aid agreements.
It is amazing how Trump is going back on all election promises: Magically end all wars to creating wars with peaceful neighbors, says he can't do anything about high food and gas prices now .... golly what a surprise.
That is exactly why I am convinced that Canada 🇨🇦 ist greatest country in the world. They would never deny help to people in need, regardless how much of a bully their leader may be. That is what makes a nation great. Others, including one of their neighbors, can learn from that. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.
Im sure they enjoy their jobs and they like helping. But they know ppl are dying below them and losing their homes. They also have to be very careful how close they themselves get to the fires as updrafts from thr fire themselves and the winds going over the mountains make flying very challenging! They're doing everyrhing to help. God bless all the crews fighting this fire......including the prisoners who are also helping fight them!
Why doesn't the mighty U S military deploy some of their huge helicopter capability for fire fighting. Or are they too busy preparing to invade Greenland. ? Why doesnt/hasn't the Air National Guard got a fleet of C L 415 water bombers ready for deployment ? Fire fighting would be a great role for the National guard, they are used to control riots etc, so why not forest fires ? The C L 415 water bomber carries at least between 4 to 6 times the load of a helicopter, it is better than the DC 10 or 747 water bombers as it's turn around time is much shorter, only having to scoop up water, not land to reload etc, and they drop lower and more accurately.
The CL-415 was never purchased by the US, because Canada and the US have a different geography. The CL-415 is efficient only if it has access to a nearby large body of water where it can scoop water. In Canada, we have hundreds of thousands of large lakes everywhere. In the US, it's unfortunately not the case Helicopters are thus better in the US since they can get water from smaller lakes or ponds where a CL-415 wouldn't be able to scoop water

Quebec is sending 2 more CL-415 for a total of 4 ! Hold on ❤❤😊

Prop plane is smaller but by the time the DC10 even gets on the ground and stopped the prop job is refilled and heading back to the fire.
great footage ed

Prayers goes out to all who lost everything
Interesting video Ed. A suggestion. Put covers over your mic or buy higher quality microphones so ut doesn't sound like firecrackers going off,
You will see the Coulson name on a lot of aircraft and ground support equipment. They are from Port Alberni in our home province of BC.
there is an interview on YT with the CEO of Coulson
Pray for us 🙏❤❤❤

Fantastic video! That Chinook is very weird in this paint scheme🤗. But my favourite the H-125 (AS-350b)😎
I like Mr Chinook 55. We hear him fly over us from time to time. Sometimes when we hear him we look outside and see him.
Very cool video. Nice job.
More Canadian help enroute as we speak. More manpower, equipment and aircraft on the way. Hang in there, LA.

Some great captures that will be awesome if it was not for that horrible tragedy, nice catch of the train too..👍
Since these airborne fire fighting aircraft can’t use seawater, where are they obtaining water from to drop on the fires?
Most planes drop fire retardant, like Phos-Chek. Usually, it's a red powder mixed with water at an air-tanker base. The nearest base to this fire is Fox Field in Lancaster. The DC-10 can only be accommodated by a few tanker bases in the state, the nearest is San Bernardino.
I'm pretty sure some of the helicopters were using sea water, suppose they prefer not to. Like the times I've seen them dropping dirty water from small reservoirs.
They take it from the sea. That thing about not being able to use sea water is just a load of rubbish.
Those turbines sure beat the old radials in the 215’s.
No the one that was hit by the drone has about a 1 1/2 hole in the left wing, right on the leading edge just about 24 inches to the right of the wing lite
At 4:59 you can see the drone strike damage on québec 243. Second section in left hand leading edge.

Are they at Camarillo airport?
They must be flying out of Van Nuys airport. Van Nuys, CA.
Has anyone seen any Manitoba guys there with their 415’s???
What airport was this shot at? Van Nuys or Burbank? I live near Burbank Airport and this doesn’t look like that. I see many of the DC-10’s flying here and curious where they refill? Thanks!
Looks like VN. You can see the Santa Susana mountains in the background on the first helicopter shot.
They are based every year at Van Nuys, (General Aviation VNY). LAFD and Coulson are there, too.
This is Dc-10 TKR 914
Where did they get the Chinooks and DC-10s? Ex military? Former passenger or FedEx planes?
The DC-10 was formerly Thai Airways then Northwest then Omni Air before conversion.
SN 48267
thoughts and prayers to those affected by these horrible fires
Is that an Eidson logo on the CH-47, would bn quite ironic to be fighting a fire with the logo of the company that started it on your heli.
