EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph, Canadair CL-215 CF-YWO (msn 1003) of the Ministère des Transports, Gouvernement du Québec, is seen parked at Jean Lesage International Airport in Quebec, Canada, in the year 1979. The CL-215, a versatile amphibious aircraft, was manufactured by Canadair, a leading Canadian aerospace company. This particular aircraft, with the call sign 32, was operated by the Quebec Ministry of Transport for various purposes, including aerial surveying, firefighting, and water bomber operations. The CL-215, with its distinctive red and white livery, is a popular choice for such roles due to its ability to take off and land on water and land surfaces. Its large, twin turboprop engines provide ample power for both short takeoffs and long-range missions. In this image, the aircraft appears to be undergoing maintenance or preparation for its next mission, with ground crew members visible in the background. Jean Lesage International Airport, located in Quebec City, is an important transportation hub in Eastern Canada, serving both domestic and international flights. The airport's proximity to the Saint Lawrence River makes it an ideal location for amphibious aircraft like the CL-215, which can easily access the water for training or emergency response missions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Canadair CL-215 in its element and highlighting the essential role of aeronautical transportation in Quebec and beyond. The image is a reminder of the rich history of Canadian aviation and the innovative technologies that have shaped the industry.
