The Canadair Cl-415
The Canadair CL-415 is a purpose-built amphibious aircraft designed specifically for aerial firefighting. Featuring twin turboprop engines that provide strong performance at low speeds and in hot, high conditions, along with a high-mounted wing and rugged hull that allow it to operate from both land runways and open water. its most distinctive capability is its ability to skim across lakes or the sea to scoop up around 6,000 litres of water in about 12 seconds. while advanced avionics and excellent low-speed handling give pilots the control needed to operate safely in mountainous terrain and smoky, turbulent conditions.
History
The Canadair CL-415, also known as the “Super Scooper", was developed in the late 1980s by the Canadian company Canadair as an advanced successor to the earlier Canadair CL-215. Incorporating more powerful turboprop engines, improved avionics and greater efficiency in aerial firefighting operations. it first flew in 1993 and entered service in 1994 quickly becoming an icon of wildfire suppression around the world due to its ability to skim lakes and oceans, to scoop large volumes of water and drop them accurately on fires.

Notes
Its recommended not to land in waterbodies if there is a lot of wind/waves.
Flaps Aren't working very well right now, I may fix it however its not really needed, So as of right now is more detail rather than functional.
This is a close recreation rather than an exact copy of the CL-415 and areas such as the interior were modified for a more detailed and useful appeal and function.
