EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Canadair CL-215 CF-TXG (msn 1014) of the Ministère des Transports, Gouvernement du Québec, is seen gracefully taxing at Jean Lesage International Airport in Quebec, Canada, in the year 1979. The Canadair CL-215, a versatile amphibious water bomber, was a vital asset in the province's firefighting fleet. Sporting the distinctive red and white livery of the Quebec Transport Ministry, CF-TXG exudes a sense of power and readiness. With its large, pontoon-equipped undercarriage, this aircraft was uniquely suited for both land and water operations, making it an indispensable tool in the battle against forest fires. The CL-215, a turboprop aircraft, was manufactured by Canadair, a leading Canadian aerospace company. Its CF-TXG call sign, 28, is proudly displayed on the fuselage, identifying it as a registered aircraft in the Quebec Transport Ministry's fleet. This image captures a moment in time when the CL-215 was not engaged in commercial operations but rather, dedicated to the essential task of protecting Quebec's forests and communities from the destructive forces of wildfires. The photograph serves as a testament to the crucial role that aeronautical transportation plays in ensuring public safety and preserving natural resources. The Canadair CL-215 CF-TXG, with its unwavering commitment to service, remains a symbol of the innovative spirit and dedication to community that defines the aviation industry. This photograph, taken at Jean Lesage International Airport in 1979, is a captivating reminder of the vital role that such aircraft played, and continue to play, in the protection and preservation of our natural world.
