This 1995 built CL-415 crashed with 3392 flight hours on 1 Aug'05. After take-off from Ajaccio AP and a first scooping, Pelican 36 intervened with 2 other CL-415s a fire near Piétramaggiore (Corsica, France). After 8 passes, 36 began its last scooping in the Gulf of Revellata, it gained height and continued the circuit to arrive on the drop axis. 36 was directed to drop its load on the exact same location as one of the other CL-415s but things went wrong, it went off track, then the tail section of 36 separated from the fuselage due to possible high stress, it impacted the side of a mountain.
