Thanks for the thoughts and explanations, a 747 waterbomber sounds
like
something incredible that I'd love to see in use, but I wouldn't want

20,000 gallons of retardant - the only place I know where retardation
is that highly concentrated is the US Congress!

Impressive video.

As for US Congress, as a Brit, I wouldn't like to comment :-)

We'll send you ours so you can comment to your heart's content!

You don't even need to send 'em back...

Only if it's on an exchange basis, they're probably better than our lot!

Simultaneous exchange - with an "unfortunate shaving accident" in the

LOL, yes that sure sounds like a plan.
