Thanks surely not and Newforest2. As noted, last I heard was from several years back - Evergreen had been crowing about the success of the 747 water tanker then got suddenly very quiet when they ran into some unnamed issue and that was the last I'd heard.
Good to know it got updated to a 747-400 - that should keep it in the air far longer than a -100 (not to mention more payload/less fuel/less noise).
BTW, stopped at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville when I went down to Oregon to view the Solar Eclipse a couple months back (I used to race against the Smith brothers back in the early 1980s so I knew Michael Smith). There is an old Evergreen 747F parked out in front (I didn't think to look at what model it was), and the Evergreen Waterpark next door has a 747-100 parked on the roof and integrated into the waterpark
