Looks like Viking has bought the CL-215 and 415 type certificates from Bombardier.

Saw the tail of a 215? 215T? or 415 parked in front of their hangar yesterday afternoon.

The average pilot, despite the somewhat swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring.
These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

Sorry that was dumb of me not to mention.
It was in front of the hangar in CYYC.

It's a CL-215, Tanker 263. Ex Ontario, Ex Minnesota machine. I believe it was bought from Minnesota by an Alaskan company and has been sitting in California until now.
