Thanks, not heard of this before.
I'd like to see one scoop up water like the CL-215!

Interesting effort but the problem with aircraft this size for firefighting is agility, especially over an inferno which will have important ascendant and unpredictable currents due to the heat. DC-10s are also being used but not extensively. |

Does this 'Boing' 747 operate on spring power or perhaps elastic bands?

I believe it's like any other large aircraft -- converts fuel to noise, after you back up the money truck to the fuel seller's establishment. |
