In its first international deployment, Montana-based Bridger Aerospace has launched all six of its CL-415EAF scooper fleet north to assist in the Canadian wildfire effort.
Also included in the deployment, which at this stage should last two weeks or more is one of the company’s PC-12 aircraft that can be used as a lead plane if needed or to rotate out pilots if the deployment is extended.
Bridger’s scooper fleet had already begun to forward deploy, with two aircraft leaving from Kingman, Arizona towards Halifax, Nova Scotia, with the remaining four scoopers departing from Bridger’s headquarters in Montana.
