EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Canadair CL-215 CF-TUV (msn 1020) of the Ministère des Transports, Gouvernement du Québec, is shown gracefully taxing at Jean Lesage International Airport in Quebec, Canada, in the year 1979. The CL-215, a versatile amphibious aircraft, is a renowned design by Canadair, a Canadian aerospace manufacturing company. This particular aircraft, registered as CF-TUV and bearing the call sign 22, was an essential asset to the Québec government's transport fleet. The CL-215 was recognized for its ability to scoop water from bodies of water and drop it as fire retardant, making it an invaluable tool for firefighting operations. The CL-215's distinctive features are on full display in this image. Its large, rounded fuselage and high-mounted wings give it a unique appearance, while the amphibious floats beneath the wings and tail allow it to take off and land on both water and land. The aircraft's registration numbers and call sign are clearly visible on the fuselage, adding to its character. The year 1979 marked a significant period in the history of the CL-215, as it had been in service for over a decade and had proven itself to be a reliable and effective aerial platform for various applications, including firefighting, water bomber duties, and passenger transport. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Canadair CL-215 CF-TUV was performing its essential role in the service of the Québec government. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the rich history of aeronautical transportation and the important role that the Canadair CL-215 played in the Québec government's transport fleet.
