This is a bit JB... but the talk of water bombing... any merit in A380s being used for air to air fuelling? I can imagine the capacity is attractive but again the size present logistical issues not to mention presenting a bigger target...
Now if only air to air water transfer were a thing.. imagine a mama whale circling while the kids come back and top up the fire fighting tanks to reduce time/distance to base... Can't imagine many fires where the payoff would be worth the expense though...
