@Benny489 @Dr_M_Davis @NSWRFS What id like to know is operating costs and effectiveness in comparison to the 737/ C-130 VLAT’s that are in service here in Au. does the CL-215 ability to be closer to 🔥 front, trump the time needed for VLAT need to fill, depart, drop & RTB to refill process

[APDAU @APD_AU]

@Benny489 @Dr_M_Davis @NSWRFS It was 1997, two CL-215’s were out here for a trial over the summer season not just AIA 97. fire was at Mt Eliza south of Melbourne
They were landing filling up off Port Phillip Bay just off Mornington. They were used for the Mt Dandenong fire, but were too big for reservoir
