CL415 dings a barge
At Nimes aparently... |
Oops. Looks like the no 2 was on the wrong side for that pass! So no 1 needed to give him more room, or a greater stagger needed to allow the second aircraft to scoop safely?
|
Not sure if that is classed as an "Accident" or a "Close call" !!
|
Bit more than a close call, it lost the left wingtip float! :p
Worse things happen at sea... |
Brown Denim moment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iwNGiGEC4o 27/08/2017 Canadair CL-415 / F-ZBFN / Plane accident / Rhône river, port of Vallabregues, France Page has other links including https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=199266 Apparently a formation take off resulting in one of the aircraft striking and dis-masting a barge that was tied up to a dock. There were people on the shore nearby. The river Rhone seems to be up to 200 meters wide in that area but not very straight. Formation take off perhaps unwise? "The wing of the Fire-fighting plane is damaged, it will be unavailable for several weeks" http://www.pprune.org/members/199821...9-canadair.png No injuries. Very, very close to disaster. |
