Coolest plane ever. The 415, I believe, is the turboprop version. Back in 2015 a 415 literally saved the top of the butte above my house that had lots of expensive electronics and cell tower stuff. Later they brought in the all types of tankers, to include the DC10, and saved the city. But the first one on scene as a 415. Coolest plane ever...
