Fire Bomber, eh??

You might mean WATER BOMBER. You get in trouble these days droping fire.

Looks like a lovely example, shame its not used for what its configured as. Could have used it with the jet rangers with bambi buckets against the firestorms .

Where was Tanker 10. The DC 10. Rumored to show an appearance. Shame noone took the initiave to put on a show on how to put out spot fires with fleets of effective aircraft before the fire storm started. Thats bacause they are under snow in the northern hemisphere. Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, and Canada all have fleets of CL415's or land based bombing capabilities.

Don't get me started. PLEASE SOMEBODY, get some aircraft. MILITARY, or PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. Search Airspray in canada and see what we are missing out on. Surely come at a 10% of the cost of the insurance bill that seems predictable every year.

Well done to all the guys who gave their all for the cause. It just would be nice if the authorities got serious with the equipment, so it actually made a difference.
