One of two CL-415 “SuperScoopers” drops a trail of water into the Santa Monica Bay, just off the pier, on Monday, December 4, 2006 as part of a demonstration before the leased firefighting aircrafts are returned to Service Aerien Gouvernmental de Quebec in Canada. For the past 11 years, the LA County Fire Department has leased two SuperScoopers to fight wildfires.
