Hi Stoat. The Global Emergency Response link is not working. I went back and reread post #1,,the worldnet link works...I'm having problems with the USFS dismissing this out of hand...if it comes down like rain, then what is the problem? I could understand if it came down like a firehouse and broke the tops out of trees. I gotta go look for endangered plants today, I'll check in tonite, let me know if the link is fixed.

I'm sorry :-( I'm not sure what I did wrong...let me try again
link If it still doesn't work, try typing www.waterbomber.com into your address bar. I apologize for the error...I'm new here :-( The only "problem" that I'm aware of with the Ilyushin planes is that the USFS refuses to even test them; apparenly for political reasons, as other posters have gone into some detail over. When you explore the Global Emergency Response website, you'll find photos and diagrams showing how they have quite a bit of control over the water drop....they can "deluge" a smaller area or spread it out over a larger area. I haven't heard of the Ilyushin planes causing any problems with damaging trees due to excessive water volume.
