Our friends at Bridger Aerospace are battling wildfires in the USA with their two #BuiltInCanada CL-415EAF "Enhanced Aerial Firefighters". By refilling their tanks from lakes in close proximity to the blaze, they're able to #MakeItRain with 30 drops within two hours! The fire's magnitude has caused smoke to reach as far as Canada and will require a massive coordinated effort to get under control - we wish all the firefighting crews a safe and successful mission. https://twitter.com/BridgerAe//1303359943823831042/photo/2

#FirefightingFriday: The first two CL-415EAF "Enhanced Aerial Firefighters" have already earned their keep battling wildfires in the US with Bridger Aerospace. These #BuiltinCanada aerial firefighters are working hard on the front line, and we're working hard to get more off the line! https://bddy.me/2Z8RELN

In a time when general aviation is struggling to cope with a global pandemic, worldwide demand for aerial firefighting resources continues to grow. And to keep up with increasing demand, we're looking to grow our team of aerospace professionals building the next-generation of aerial firefighters - the CL-415EAF!

#FeelGoodFriday: This video from Courtney Kreider is one of the hottest shots of our CL-415EAF "Enhanced Aerial Firefighter" we've seen so far! So great to see these amazing aircraft already out battling wildfires and protecting local communities with Bridger Aerospace.

Thanks to Bridger Aerospace's brave crews who #MakeItRain with their CL-415EAF "Enhanced Aerial Firefighters". These aircraft are #BuiltinCanada with pride so they can protect local communities and the environment from the devastating impact of wildfires around the world.

#FeelGoodFriday: There may be a cool cruiser in the foreground, but we think the two CL-415EAF "Enhanced Aerial Firefighters" steal focus in this photo courtesy of Bridger Aerospace! It fills us with pride to see these two #BuiltinCanada aircraft reunited and battling wildfires together in the USA. https://bddy.me/31iJguU

No, you're not seeing double.... Our friends at Bridger Aerospace now have two of these #BuiltinCanada beauties in their fleet! We're excited to deliver our second CL-415EAF "Enhanced Aerial Firefighter" and follow her journey as she joins MSN 1081 battling wildfires in the USA. https://www.instagram.com/p/CD6gmqbBfmr/

We may be a bit biased, but we think this is the prettiest aerial firefighter around! Thanks Bridger Aerospace for sharing this colourful picture of our first CL-415EAF "Enhanced Aerial Firefighter" as she does a photo-flyby near Lake Topaz, Nevada. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDvG5kQDn1I/

It fills us with pride to see our first CL-415EAF "Enhanced Aerial Firefighter" featured on KTVN Channel 2 News in Nevada! Able to refill her tanks in 12 seconds from water sources in close proximity to the fire and return within five minutes for another pass, this #BuiltinCanada beauty will make a big impact battling wildfires in the US. As Bridger Aerospace CEO Tim Sheehy says, "there is a historic shortage of aerial firefighting assets in the United States, and Nevada saw the potential of this purpose-built aircraft to provide a very quick impact on fast-moving desert fires ... it's the perfect asset for the state of Nevada to use." And we couldn't agree more! https://bddy.me/3a21JhX

Another great update from Jeff Winger capturing our second CL-415EAF "Enhanced Aerial Firefighter" as she flew from Calgary to the paint shop where she'll receive her Bridger Aerospace livery. Thanks Jeff and our entire crew for their hard work on MSN 1082 - it won't be long before she joins her sister MSN 1081 battling wildfires!

Thanks Jeff Winger for sharing this update on MSN 1082, our second CL-415EAF "Enhanced Aerial Firefighter", as she recently tackled leak testing at Ghost Lake outside of Calgary, Alberta.

#FeelGoodFriday: While Lake Tahoe may traditionally be a destination for recreation lovers, its also the perfect spot for our first CL-415EAF to refill her tanks as she battles wildfires in Nevada. It makes us feel good to see that all our hard work over the past year has led to our first "Enhanced Aerial Firefighter" actively battling wildfires in the protection of local communities and the environment. https://bddy.me/3eYAAxg

We're so proud to see our first CL-415EAF "Enhanced Aerial Firefighter" joining the fight against wildfires in Nevada! Thanks to the crew at Bridger Aerospace for sending us this photo, and thank you to all firefighting crews who selflessly risk their lives in the protection of others.
