I took this over my house a few years back during the Texas wildfires. It's a P2 converted to firefighting. I wish I had pics of the DC10 but I did get to see it make passes. I believe this P2 is operated by the same company.

I don’t understand why they don’t have a fleet of 20+ year old 747-200s converted into water bombers with a capacity of 20,000 gallons each. They could put out a fire in quite a hurry with kind of capacity.
