the ideal fire/water bomber?
"Bertie the Bunyip" wrote I've watched one put out a real fire in france. Amazing. But the key here is nearby water source. without one how good is it compared to anything of similar size and weight? It can also refill on the ground with a hose and tanker. It can lift a full load off of a runway, 1200 gallons for a 215, 1400 gallons for a 415. I would have to do some searching to find out how much runway it would take, but it isn't much. -- Jim in NC
