| Was watching the news coverage of the Southern California fires, and
saw a short video clip of a DC-10 dropping fire retardant!. I had
never seen any aircraft that large employed in such a manner. Rather
interesting, me thinks!

| Yeah, those are some neat modifications to planes. I think there is
also a 747 of some sort that can be used for firefighting. Awesome
stuff!

Wow, I'd like to see that sucker ot the Toronto Airshow. It could easily
demo the water dump into Lake Ontario right in front of the spectators.
Gonna drop them a line and see if they will apply to be here next year.

Amazing pictures! Thanks Dallas.
If we'd had these during the Vietnam era, the ol' "Ranch Hands" could
have completed a year's worth of missions in a couple of days!!!
