Dear Marty, a literal rendering (sort of):
"while on holiday in southern France in 2018, there was a forest fire, and I was able to attend the Canadair ballet to put out the fire."

Still love the Canadair CL415s. Used to live about a mile from the Canadair plant when I was a kid in the 60s. Used to see it's predecessor, the CL215s, flying over my house. The old radial engines of the 215s made a hell of a racket, I remember. Great aircraft, both of them. Love this photo - perfect timing, and the actual fire and rising smoke is terrific. Great shot!

Awesome..........

My favorite photo of this week !!

Ps. Southern California - Los Angeles and San Diego County hire these aircraft via contracts a certain periods of the year to assist us with fire fighting. The aircraft and crews have been instrumental in fighting several large fires in our areas.

THANK YOU!!!!

Bien fait! (Well done!)

Une si magnifique photo! Rarement les photographes attrapent à la fois le pompier et le feu. Excellent!
