Just to clear this up, this plane can drop 27,500 gallons of fire retardant, that's 230,000lbs.... Shocked

I have ten bucks saying it cant!!! Grin 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!

Would be funny to see this thing coming at you skimming the lake to top her off, you being on you surfboard.
