However the aircraft would be useless in real life for Search and Rescue...
The past Canadian Government turned down a great aircraft made right here in Canada...the Canadair upgraded 415 for Search and Rescue to purchase some foreign born useless kit again. We are still waiting to see it...
The Canadair 415 we saw at Trenton when it was here had been painted in Canadian Search and Rescue livery and was capable of being equipped with skis/wheels, had a rear door to launch boats while on the water or snowmobiles while on a frozen lake.
The former government turned it down because they said it would be too expensive to keep pilots current on an amphibian, of course that government never did support the forces and still does not....
Just a little history...
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
