Thanks for clearing it up.

Looking for some pics in an old phone came across this vids of Ejército del Aire Canadair CL-215T from Grupo 43 (Group 43 from the spanish air force) firefighters loading water to fight a severe wildfire in Gran Canaria. The last two are mine, the first two unsourced.

The CL-215 are nicknamed botijos in spanish service.

Coolio!

I like that it has little paddle wheels instead of undercarriage. Was that so it could propel itself on the water when the engines were turned off?

I'll get my coat!

 

[MIflyer]

Yep, or at least it used to be able to fly.

Good shots!
