Firefighters CL-415 in action - Bulgaria, 2008

Post by hornise »

Back in 2008 - in the begining of September serious forest fires broke out and the Bulgarian state is unable to cope with the problem without outside intervention. France and Spain have sent CL-415 planes to help and to put the situation under control.

What an amazing set Anton. Really love the sunset shot with the two aircraft in it but the rest are lovely as well. Hope you don't turn into a pyromaniac though if it gives these kind of opportunities!
