Bombardier has handed over the first production Canadair CL-415 firebomber to France's Securite Civile. Securite Civile launched the CL-415 with a 1991 order for 12 aircraft. The first was handed over at a special ceremony on April 29 at Canadair's Dorval aircraft assembly facility, though it will not enter service until this September due to crew training requirements. Canadair also holds CL-415 orders from the aerial fire fighter organisations of Quebec and Italy. (Canadair)
