Foto/Photo: C295 apagafuegos / Firefighter

Varios aerotrastornados me han hecho llegar estas fotos de un 295 modificado para ser un avión apagafuegos. Como el 295 no es anfibio, asumimos que siempre ha de ser recargado en el aeródromo. En España no estamos acostumbrados a esto, pero no es raro en otros países como Estados Unidos ver aviones terrestres, como el OV 10 o el B-17 convertidos en aviones apagafuegos. Tan solo tienen que ir a repostar a un aeródromo.

Por comparación de tamaño y potencia con el Canadair CL-215T/415 asumimos que la capacidad de agua máxima debe ser similar...

Por cierto, hacer notar que el avión modificado por Airbus Military es el mismo en el que instalaron los winglet para mejorar la aerodinámica del avión.

Airbus Military también ha propuesto un demostrador AEW&C y ha logrado certificarlo para operaciones civiles. Y ahora avión apagafuegos. El C-295 Está demostrando ser un avión versátil y "con mucha guerra que dar"
