A visitor from Spain posted Fri September 11, 2009: I have to say too, when the upside down, the water CAN'T BE rejected because the system is emptied via gravity... It's not performance, but logic
A visitor from Germany posted Thu June 11, 2009: Spectacular performance
A visitor from Canada posted Mon July 28, 2008: If its true, what a crew!!! breath taking performance!!!
A visitor from Germany posted Wed July 19, 2006: Cool pic
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu March 9, 2006: Forza Italia
A visitor from United States posted Thu February 16, 2006: I never knew a turbo-prop could do such a thing, wow, good photo
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon January 16, 2006: Wow, simply wow!!
A visitor from Canada posted Thu December 1, 2005: Man those Italians are crazy I've seen them do rolls with the Spartan at an air show and now there doing half rolls with the CL-415. There crazy
A visitor from Norway posted Wed November 9, 2005: A maneuver which I have never seen before with this type of aircraft, and also with the water makes the picture look great. It really shows some of the performances of the aircraft.
A visitor from South Africa posted Wed November 2, 2005: Stunning to say the least... 5/5!!!
A visitor from United States posted Mon October 24, 2005: "please notice the position of the aerolons, as if it was the other way round it would have got into a dive." Those are the flaps. still think it is BS
A visitor from France posted Thu October 20, 2005: I didn't know that this aircraft could do such manoeuvers !
A visitor from United States posted Mon October 17, 2005: You do not see this at most air shows and not many would try it!
A visitor from United States posted Thu October 13, 2005: What appears to be a non-acrobatic aircraft is clearly performing an unusual, to say the least, maneuver. Add to that - disgorging a big load of water UPWARDS puts the icing on the cake.
A visitor from Germany posted Tue October 11, 2005: Yeeeehaaaa!!!! Great!! I love he pilot! He's my neighbour! I call him Crazy Joe!
A visitor from Malta posted Tue October 11, 2005: Whoever doubts the authenticity of this photo should read the explanation in this thread: http://www.airliners.net/discussions/aviation_photography/read.main/203879/ It leaves no room for doubt.
A visitor from Brazil posted Mon October 10, 2005: Great pic, but I still can't believe that it is performing a half loop.
A visitor from United States posted Mon October 10, 2005: Incredible! The picture looks upside-down!
A visitor from Sweden posted Sun October 9, 2005: Great photo. Hard to believe though!!!
A visitor from United States posted Sun October 9, 2005: The plumes of water, color scheme of the plane, composition of the shot, clarity. Very nice.
A visitor from Malta posted Sun October 9, 2005: Congrats Mark, Nice to see that you put that new lens to good use.
A visitor from Italy posted Sat October 8, 2005: Incredible what this plane and that pilot can do!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat October 8, 2005: Prosit !!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice shot and well done.
A visitor from Malta posted Sat October 8, 2005: Hi Mark I vote 100/100 for your photo simply can't be better buddie! Malcolm Bezzina
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat October 8, 2005: While I think it's mad, bad and very dangerous, I think it must be genuine - gravity works - look as the way the water is coming from the rear of the hopper and running back along the aircraft. If the picture was rotated would water be rising behind the aircraft?
A visitor from United States posted Sat October 8, 2005: Spectacular, death defying, eye spliting, ball dropping picture. Let's see if Tom Cruise can perform that stunt.
A visitor from United States posted Sat October 8, 2005: YEEEE HAAWWW! That's awesome! An (almost) normal plane doing an extraordinary thing. Simply awesome!
A visitor from Philippines posted Sat October 8, 2005: I thought only Migs and F18s can do those. But then A. It's a Canadair fire-fighting aircraft and B. The water coming out only adds to the amazing effect. One of the best aircraft photographs I've seen!
A visitor from Canada posted Sat October 8, 2005: Its crazy! You have to love those crazy canucks!
A visitor from Malta posted Fri October 7, 2005: Great skilled pilot as I also was the witness of this maneuver. Great Shot !! And for all those dumb persons who call themselves aviation enthusiasts, please notice the position of the aerolons, as if it was the other way round it would have got into a dive.
A visitor from Spain posted Fri October 7, 2005: Nice effect!!!!
A visitor from Italy posted Fri October 7, 2005: Maybe coming from Frecce Tricolori acrobatic team.
A visitor from Czech Republic posted Fri October 7, 2005: The composition as well as the angle of capture are excellent. The sharpness of the image only adds to it being perfect on my view.
A visitor from Germany posted Fri October 7, 2005: A really good pilot.
A visitor from France posted Fri October 7, 2005: Very impressive !
A visitor from Austria posted Fri October 7, 2005: Unbelievable action shot. I never knew this can be done with FF plane
