Donny.....for about 3 seconds you had me spitting coffee all over my computer immediately followed by a dash out the front door to look in the direction of DFW..........then I saw A380 and fire and knew it was the new firefighting deal.

Now that was a good lead-in sentence! No coffee spitting like Toby, but JEEEEEZ, that was eye-catching. Sorry I can only give it one thumbs up. Great article.
DFW and my local firefighting organization reminds me of the Coast Guard motto Semper Paratus. Thanx Donny

Well, they already got 3 runways down there that are 200' wide; they'll have to get taxiways and terminals updraded to handle it won't they? I figure it's coming. Just a matter of when.

I get calls if a company needs me...so I will go for say two months. This time it to teach 'em how to stael customers off of LH. Not a difficult job ..LH has their panties in a bunch at the moment. For the last 20 years I was a commercial manager. I am too old now for the tools..haha

Well readers of the Wall Sreet Journal this press release does not reflect the reality.

The first attenders did not have enough C02

THe first tenders did not have enough lquid nitrogen.

Even if the first attenders had the correct retardents none of them were trained in the use.

So if you guys who insure these machines want to reduce risk it might be agood idea to get smart.
