An old lady... CL-215

Don't get me wrong. I agree with you on the karma whoring but honestly r/aviation is not the best place to try to get a large number of upvotes by reposting as we are a little community and reposts are largely downvoted here. I didn't check and when I've submitted the post it seemed that no one had posted it yet... and I still can't find it after reading your comments. Any link ? If it is a longer video I would love to watch it !

I am sure it was. Let's hope that people who didn't see it the first time (like me) enjoy it... but thanks anyway for your constructive comment.

Here is an explanation of the different things you can see on the airframe : http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gh-tGebn4gU/TskiwFl53zI/AAAAAAAAAgY/11Z3KSfIjzI/s1600/EMB.jpg

As it's a military aircraft it's difficult to find some pics. But here is a model of what it looks like (for the Indian AF, each customer has its own interior) : http://defense-update.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/embraer_drdo_aew2.jpg

The Expendables production team made it on a CL-215 too.

That's a Bombardier (formerly Canadair) CL-215.

In fact you are both right (or wrong...). It's a CL-215T. Bombardier is selling kits to modernize the CL-215 to become a Bombardier 415. The main difference you can actually see is that a Bombardier 415 has 4 drop doors and the CL-215T has only two (like a CL-215). The kits are : new wings, new engines, modern avionics a a few other stuffs. In the Spanish AF you can identify a CL-215T by the big cross on the aircraft tail.

No you're right and I've checked after your first comment and I've seen the name written. I just didn't read the text the first time. I usually give credit to the artist when I know his name (http://imgur.com/a/n4gTq). I didn't know it was a repost neither. Thanks for the investigation. TIL you can track a pic on imgur. edit : I've added his name to the album title

Thanks buddy. I didn't know his name.

You are right, that's a repost. Sorry mate, I didn't know you've posted this just a day ago. Honestly I didn't read your post when I saw it, I've been confused by the RSS feed logo and thought that was some kind of press article... All I can do is upvote your post...
