Here it is.....

On 15th December 2009 CASA Instrument EX108/09 was released that relates to Conduct of Aerial Application (Firebombing) Operations by DC10 Aircraft Reg No. N`7085, SN 47957 by Agfire Aviation......

Here's the link to the DC10 Supertanker that's obviously on its way....

Welcome to 10 Tanker Air Carrier

My question is....how are they going to fill the tank up with the 12000ltrs once it has been deployed? Have to go back to an airport I'd think as I can't see this thing scooping along a lake etc to scoop up water....

No doubt....this'll be some pretty interesting stuff to keep an eye out for...
