CL-415 Aerial Fire Fighter at My Local Airport

I was able to spot this awesome aircraft at my local airport, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (KIWA). This $30 million dollar aircraft is manufactured by Viking Air in Canada. Here is an awesome video I found on this aircraft that was just posted yesterday. It was filmed at KIWA.

That’s a pretty cool experience!
That airplane was temporarily based at my local airport to help with a fire this summer.
