CL-215T or CL-415?

[edit]

Sources:

According to the image info, the plane in the pic's "Register Number" is UD13-16 / 43-16 (cn 1057), and the pic was take on May 15, 2005. The CL-215T's local designation is UD-13, while the 415's is UD-14. The first CL-415 entered Spanish service in 2006. Also note the full-length national fin-flash on the rudder, which is seen on the CL-215T on the SAF page, but not on the CL-415's page, as well as "CL-215T" stenciled near the bottom of the fin flash. These all lead me to conclude that the aircraft in the pic is in fact a CL-215T, and not a CL-415. - BillCJ 02:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
