A “Super Scooper” plane flies low over the south end of Hungry Horse Reservoir Thursday as part of the firefighting effort on the Dart Creek Fire in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. The Canadair CL-215 planes skim over the surface of the reservoir, pick up a load of water through special vents, then fly to the fire.
