Just to clear this up, this plane can drop 27,500 gallons of fire retardant, that's 230,000lbs....

I have ten bucks saying it cant!!!

This probably is a better aircraft to be putting out house fires! LOL

Well that is alot of fire retardent, so mabe they can drop it from higher altutudes, and cover more area?

Problem is that every time it needs to fill up it needs to land!
