I remember hearing a news report 20 years ago about the old locals out there seeing her plane on a Japanese barge being towed past their island.

I always wonder why the U.S. Forest Service/USAF/USN doesn't have a handful of large water tankers. The daily lease has got to be crazy expensive.

It would be nice if they put "taxi-way" into their vocabulary.

Today was CAVU in the midwest, why aren't the comm'l planes being allowed to fly VFR until they can get in a controlled space...mebe with a 20 mile separation and GPS? Boo FAA for not thinking faster on all this.

I'll bet they pay less then $200k for a DC-10 parked out in the desert bone yard. ...it looks like they just empty out the interior and add the tanks under. I just saw one of their promotional vids, they have a "long term" contract with the Forest Service - which is prob their only client. So we (the US tax-payers) are now paying for the service including their profit. The US Gov't has 10's of thousands of planes probably still including the useless but maintained B-52's...put those in service fighting forest fires. I say.

Aren't these planes privately owned and leased to fire fighting operations? Why doesn't the U.S. Gov't own 10-15 of them to knockout forest fires BEFORE they get really out of control???

OK...rhetorically, if he had a certified M.I.??? I'm not trying to end anyone's career. :-)

...so would the original cap'n automatically lose his med cert after an in-air cardiac incident? Or would he be given't the opportunity to take and pass the stress tests etc to keep his med cert?
