We use them here in Canada as well. They're owned/operated by a group called Discovery Air, a couple of weeks ago we had a large grass fire that was spreading quickly in very dry conditions so 2 CL-415s were dispatched to deal with it and the Aero Commander was the "birddog"....they did a fantastic job. I was suppose to go take pictures of the CL-415s and the Aero Commander that weekend for a few FSX/P3D projects (including Carenado's AC500) but they were reassigned to another area at the last minute, hopefully they'll be back soon so I can get it done! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10153378101578777.1073741843.504268776&type=1&l=c77888f023
