I have ten bucks saying it cant!!! Grin

This probably is a better aircraft to be putting out house fires! LOL

Well that is alot of fire retardent, so mabe they can drop it from higher altutudes, and cover more area?

Problem is that every time it needs to fill up it needs to land!

I am somwhere I don't know where I am!!!&&
