The 415 taxis out after a crew change. Notice the Province of Quebec insignia on the side. Notice also all the winglets, dorsal/ventral fins on the tailplane to enhance low speed handling. The 415 taking off as runway crews are quickly dousing the grass after a pyrotechnic display. The 415 rises quickly after take-off and is framed by the tail of a C-141 Starlifter
