Two More CL-415 Super Scoopers are on the way to fight Palisades Fire after one of them was damaged by an unauthorized Drone. 

It's expected that the aircraft (C-GQBE) hit by the drone will be repaired and ready to fly again early next week.

The incident was particularly significant because it took one of the two available Quebec-Based Super Scoopers out of service at a critical time.

Recently, damage was caused to the leading edge of the wing of one of only two Canadair CL-415 “Super Scooper” Aerial-Firefighting Aircraft helping to battle Wildfires in Los Angeles, after it was struck by a Drone in Southern California, resulting in the Aerial-Firefighting Asset to be Grounded.
