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
to
be
too
close:-)

It's pretty impressive...

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
mid-Atlantic? I think we have a plan!

Can we go for a tripartite solution? Maybe a Zeppelin with our senate and
house can float over? I kind of don't care where they float over to....

I'm just saying...

Last i heard (from the Flat Earth Society) there was an edge to the
ocean suitable for floating over.

Shame to let it go to waste...

Hmmm.... there is that boat thing again....

Perhaps a train, on a boat, towed by a Zeppelin?
