photo and press release

I have requested permission to use a photo of the CL-515 on this article via info @ vikingair.com. I received a response but am still awaiting approval of the request. In the meantime, they directed me to this recent press release: https://dehavilland.com/en/media . Pat Palmer (talk) 10:48, 4 April 2022 (CDT)

An authorized photo would be great. What I would really like would be some free photos of the aircraft configured for maritime patrol. The plan would be to sling the same kind of optics placed on military unmanned aerial vehicles under one wing of the aircraft. The advanced sensors could be used for fishery or environmental protection - not solely military duties.
The first Imax theatre was at Ontario Place, in Toronto. It was the first, and impressive, with its massive screen. But, when it opened, there were almost no films specifically made in the Imax format. One of the very first was about firefighting, in Northern Ontario, and it contained some spectacular footage of the recently introduced DHC-215, scooping up water, dropping water.
