This water bomber is former Yugoslavia Air Force serial 72204 and was delivered to 355 MTM in late 1995. It carried serial 72204 (up to late 1996) and was later reregistered to 1070. The beauty unfortunately crashed during firefighting mission of a very big fire at Neapoli, Lakonia on 17 July 2015. The aircraft crash-landed just out of the village of Faraklo. Luckily the crew was able to escape the Scooper. The CL-215 was then consumed by the forest fire and completely destroyed.
