“I just saw that they have recently put a 747 into service to spray fire retardant...much better than helicopters.”

The Russians have a huge firefighting jet that is much better, but for some reason we haven’t bought any.

Interesting...Do you have any more information on what type of plane?

Good question as to why we have not...

Some of the people in California should be asking the question!

The first article that popped up was ABC, and I didn’t want to give them hits.

I wonder how a reconfigure C-5 Galaxy would do as a fire fighting plane.
