  • Croatian Air Force Canadair CL-415 pilots showing their skill as one of the premier firefighting pilots on the planet. Today a wildfire erupted on the Kozjak mountain which is near Split, Croatia. The terrain was extremely challenging when approaching the fire since there's a near vertical cliff face near the peak of Kozjak. In some instances the CL-415 was channeling it's inner Stuka dive bomber when it just dove on that wildfire. Close to the wildfire there was a church a mountaineering house and a military radar base which were all saved thanks to the crews of the CL-415s and the firefighters on the ground who are as important as the firefighters from above.

    In Greece we suffer many forest fires were it not for our fleet of CLs, and from other countries, we would have no more forests. All firefighting pilots have my utmost respect. May the fallen ones rest in peace.

    Such an intense fight. Highly skilled pilots with excellent equipment. I have to mention that a number of pilots lost their lives, including my neighbor when I was a young boy, learning how to attack these fires as safely as possible. A lot of what we know today about aerial firefighting was learned the hard way by the pioneers fighting forest fires in British Columbia in the 1960s. Sadly as with all battles there are casualties.
