My wife works for Omni Air Intl. a charter air company who flys several dc-10s. The company is part of the 10 Tanker company that owns the 10 Tanker used for forest fire fighting. Send me an email to
skydiver51@cox.net and I will send a close up pic of the plane dropping a load of water. I will post a pic if allowed to. 8-)

Trying to get the pic attached. Textures would be nice and so would an operatable tank on a FS plane.

That's gotta be the ultimate firefighting ride... low-level bombing in a DC-10 ... !! :D
I've seen an add-on DC6 fire-bomber with water-dumping animation...

These two pics are from an actual fire fighting mission. The plane has been certified for use last year. I believe it was finally used on the last big fire in claifornia last year. I believe it cost $25,000 to $50,000 per flight on a fire.
Check out the shadow on the ground in the second pic.

Is that here in the states?? I knew there was another jet waiting for certification but didn't know what type of plane it was. Very cool video.

'Wow, if that plane has dumped all its water, doesnt it shoot upwards because it lost so much weight?
