Against Juneau’s gray skies this weekend, some large, bright yellow planes landing at Juneau International Airport were quite a spectacle. They're DeHavilland CL-415EAF firefighting planes, stopping in Juneau on their way up to Fairbanks.
The Scoopers are owned and deployed by Bridger Aerospace, a company in Montana that contracts with the U.S. Forest Service for firefighting. The planes are specially designed for that purpose and cost $30 million each.
