Canadair

The Canadair is an amphibious aircraft designed specifically for firefighting, with the ability to operate efficiently in densely wooded regions; it can also operate on semi-prepared runways, as well as (naturally) on water.

Over the years, the original firefighting version has also been transformed into cargo and passenger transport in areas with abundant water.
