The part needed to fix a CL-415 water bomber damaged in a drone strike in Los Angeles on Thursday was on its way to L.A. on Friday. The aircraft could be back in the air as soon as Monday. DeHavilland Canada, which holds the type certificate for the so-called Super Scooper and supports the worldwide fleet apparently had the piece of wing structure in stock and air freighted it within hours of the collision. "De Havilland Canada remains on standby 24/7 to support crews and keep the fleet flying."

need more investigation into what kind of drone and who was the pilot.

Do you think it might be a little bit too late for the “Super Scooper” to have even the slightest meaningful impact on the current status of these wild fires? Do you think just maybe 50 years of building homes in areas that are prone to wild fires naturally given the laws of nature, that nature may be telling Californians something that just maybe they should listen too?
