CL-215T Fire Bomber

[AKBill]

3 Fire Bombers came thru Juneau this weekend. They were operated by Bridger Aerospace, https://bridgeraerospace.com/

Did not talk to the flight crew but I bet they are headed North to help out with the wildfires. Looked like a very interesting aircraft.

The pilots are all friends and former co-workers. All Juneau residents. Bridger has been contracted to work the fires burning in the interior of AK.

We got the grand tour of 282 on the ramp in MN last summer. Cool airplanes. They were sitting around waiting for something to happen when we were there so they were happy to talk & show us the aircraft.
