yowieII...we handled that aircraft when it was at Tulla. I remember going on board & getting a few freebies off it. Interesting concept, but quite a lot of effort to ship one Land Rover by air...
Personally, as a Fire Fighting aircraft, I think Choppers would do a better job with the amounts of water/retardant we're talking about. The lack of loiter would mean that what little water it carries has to be dropped hyper accurately....IMHO. The DC-10 concept can afford to be inaccurate as it just dumps copious amounts in the general vicinity, and that can be acceptable.
