I had not realised that Viking Air Ltd. even have the production licence right now for the four engine Super STOL Dash Seven, approx 150 of which were built. And long live the CL415!
One of the coolest videos ever using the CL-415:

Cool indeed. Did you see the one of the burning truck on the Trans-Labrador Highway?
Put out before it started a forest fire.

I hope they keep making the CL-415. I have always loved those planes.
Viking Air does a good job making new Twin Otters, they should be able to keep the super scoopers alive.
The boss has three on order.

DHC-6 on floats. Wish they had some Dash 7's
