Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Post by maarten-sr »

I-DPCN Canadair CL-215-6B11 at work to extinguish a fire on a mount in the extreme south of Italy
my excuse that some picture`s a smattering soft but the circumstances where bad due to an heavy wind in the mountains

I-DPCN a number of seconds for refuelling seewater, look at the seaside visitors they are running for life :wink:
Image

prop blur
Image

a smattering foggy due to smoke
Image

empty and back again to the see for refuelling
Image

at the far background you can see the ETNA another smokey mountain
Image

dumping another 1000 liter or more
Image

Image

say goodbye to me
Image

job well done - arrivederci

Great action shots indeed!

as far as the designation goes: the CL-215-6B11 is the same model as the CL-415, its the manufacturer's designation for it.

You must be right! I merely looked at the topic title, kinda missed the detail in the post text...
