Fighting Quebec Wildfires! Bridger Aerospace CL-215T action in Maniwaki (YMW / CYMW)

A special thanks to the amazing people at Maniwaki airport and at Bridger Aerospace! I have seen Quebec and Newfoundland CL2T’s, this is my first time seeing an for-profit airline CL2T!

The Quebec Government operates a fleet of 14 CL-215’s and CL-415 which have been battling the fires across the province for weeks now! Bridger Aerospace is based in Belgrade, Montana. They were founded in 2014 to support front-line firefighters. They have one of the largest fleets of CL-215’s in the United States! They operate
