foto di Ettore Giordano

The Photofile that follows has been realized to Albenga during the annual aerial manifestation; I must also say that working in airport within they are granted of the extras to photographic level allowing to shoot photo me to squall on aircrafts of varied interest.

Before the time that I saw the Canadair was during the inauguration of the new air terminal of Genoa in 1986; the aircraft was a CL 215 that made one demonstration on the channel adjacent the track, loading and unloading th water. I must say that although its little size and its lines I remained fascinated from this fort and sturdy perhaps dictated airplane from the fact that I love the airplane with the motors to star and dil they hard noise. I had in the years succeeded to you the fortune to go up inside on airplane invited from a marshal pilot (modellist); ... all the procedures even if in truth we passed the afternoon to speak about kit and models and therefore I did not pull neanche one photo. The pilots of our aeronautics on behalf piloted the Canadair of the Italian Sisam (Society Mediterranean Aerial Services, society to understood them 60% Alitalia and 40% public Alenia) that she managed the fleets antifire of property of the Ministry of Farming and Forests and the Department of the Civil Protection. 1° February 1988 is born the SOREM, society of aerial work that has base to Foligno; While but during this time was asked the French Canadair to take part in Italian ground. The 13 SOREM currently has Canadair subdivided in 6 operating zones: Genoa, Treviso, Olbia, Rome, Trapani and Reggio Calabria so as to to cover without problems all the national territory and in this torrid summer of it we have had the test. The old CL215 to pistons has been replaced from piu modern turboprop CL415 to which my photofile is dedicated; the outside lines generate them of the fuselage are not changed while the extremities andirons and the tailplane are completely various, the motor much beautiful one aesthetically adopt unelica quadripala to variable step and render this airplane much manageable one in climb and the tightened tackings, between laltro are one show to see to park itself behind it to march. We see po two characteristics:
