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?

That's the Evergreen International Aviation 747 Supertanker which just completed a month-long demonstration tour.

Check the FAQ page for some unique chacteristics of this AC. It apparently operates within the normal passenger 747 envelope and will always be 75 tons below normal gross weight.

And that's seven of the next largest tankers.
