 CL-215T/415
Since the beginning of the CL-215 program, Canadair had wanted to put turboprop engines in the CL-215, but it was not until the early 1980s that a suitable engine, the 2,380-shp Pratt and Whitney Canada PW123AF, became available.
Canadair borrowed two new Series V CL-215s from Quebec for conversion purposes.
Canadair launched CL-415 production on October 16, 1991, based on an order from France for 12 aircraft and a pending order for eight from Quebec.

 AVSIM Minireviews: Bearracing W/E 10-6
Massimo Taccoli has given all of us flight simmers many many outstanding FS aircraft in the past and he continues again with his design of two versions of the Canadair CL forest fire fighting aircraft, the 215 model and the 415 model.
Overall these aircraft are very well designed, very accurate as to the real thing, contain a pretty fair airfile and panels, and with the appropriate sounds (I installed some PBY sounds from Mike Hambly into the 215 and I followed Massimo's recommendations for the 415).
The bush scenery guys have all been busy, with some excellent uploads from Jim Faircloth, Dale Baker, and once again Naji Chehabeddine, plus there have been any number of aircraft repaints and such, but here are my 5 picks that you just might want to take a bit of a closer gander at!

 Airliners.net: Canadair CL-215 & 415
Originally the subsequent CL-215T was to be a simple turboprop powered development of the CL-215, and Canadair converted two aircraft in 1989 to act as development aircraft.
Retrofit kits for CL-215s to the new standard are offered, but Canadair elected not to build new CL-215Ts, and instead developed the CL-415.
The primary improvement added to the CL-415 over the CL-215T is an EFIS avionics suite, while other improvements, some of which first appeared on the CL-215T, include winglets and finlets, higher weights and an increased capacity firebombing system.

However, if the fire is considered a threat, a call is made to the closest available tanker base and aircraft are dispatched to the fire.
