Super ScooperSuper Scooper is a nickname given to certain firefighting aircraft built by Canadair and later Bombardier. These amphibious aircraft are able to skim the surface of a lake or reservoir to fill their tanks with water to drop on wildfires or, occasionally, structure fires. The water can be released all at once or as a sustained shower. The three models of super scooper are the Canadair CL-215, the CL-217 and the Bombardier CL-415, the latter being a turboprop. It is rumored that Bomardier will cease production of the aircraft in 2005.
