1998 Canada $20 Aviation Canadair CL-215 Waterbomber Sterling Silver

Coin comes with COA and RCM issued case. This product may or may not come with the outer cardboard sleeve. As is typical with this series, the outer cardboard sleeve might have some light wear, the capsule may be scratched, and the coin might have light toning or toning spots.

In 1967, the CL-215 waterbomber took its maiden flight and is the only aircraft in the world designed specifically to fight forest fires. This twin- engined amphibian is fitted with probes that can scoop up 5,455 liters of water from a lake in ten seconds while skimming the surface at 110km/hour.

The CL-215 can normally achieve 75 pick-ups and drops, with only one refueling stop during the course of a single day's operations against a fire 160 kilometers from its base. On a number of occasions, single CL-215s have made over 100 drops totaling more than 545,500 litres in one day.
