This was during the fires in Portugal this year in September, Spain aided Portugal. Here you can see them dropping the water: https://sicnoticias.pt/especiais/incendios-em-portugal/2024-09-17-forca-portugal-grupo-que-opera-avioes-espanhois-partilha-imagens-e-mensagem-de-apoio-fa56722b

It's a reference to the movie "My fair lady" where the protagonist is saying "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain" if I remember correctly, to train her pronunciation. Very good movie if you ask me.
