This is a connected article that shows the modified 747 and the loader. It is one difficult engineering task

These reminded of the thread about a converted 747 made with tanks to fight fires. Then the thread about sweatiest city. What would you do with a jet with (65,000 ?)gallons of sweat?

Iraq?
