Ministry of Natural Resources Water Bomber CL-415 and Eurocopter EC-130 (***note the video mislabeled the EC-130 as the AS-350 which was originally indicated for the show***) demonstrated two key elements of their forest fire detection, monitoring, suppression and public information. The Canadair 'Water Bomber' CL-415 heavy waterbombers can scoop more than six tonnes of water (6,130 litres) in 12 seconds and return to a fire fully loaded at 325 km/h. This amphibious tanker, like its predecessor, is the only aircraft in the world designed specifically for aerial waterbombing of forest fires. Ontario owns and operates nine CL-415s.The Eurocopter EC-130 fly in support of the Ministry's fire and specialty resource management programs.-source: http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Business/AFFM/2ColumnSubPage/199416.htmlTo learn more about the show: http://www.CIAS.orgFilmed in HD Aug 30 & Sep 1, 2008©2008 SavageLettuce

Dec 2, 2008 - Thanks for the catch! The CIAS site and programs had it listed as the AS-350 but I see the tail rotor is the giveaway when looking on the Ministry site - too late to change the video itself without reposting, but updated the info in the description.
