Yes, great job by these classics. I wonder if the Evergreen Tanker 742 is also involved with fighting the fires this year, it was last year. _________________ http://openflights.org/user/akumanduri |

Not the best shot but here is that Nine-Ten (was a great 15 min pit stop @ Victorville, when I drove Vegas to LA)

i don't think it carries water. its load looks like a fire retarding chemical. |
