All were miss'in is the Goodyear blimp droppin retardent! You might wanna check out my Big Bird video's dropping in NorCal. Very similiar video which was used for improvement seminars.
-
@Photo1productions actually the supertanker can hold 20,000 gallons of retartend or water
-
i also work with the p-3 , s-2 , the seats, and the dc7's along with the air attack pilots. its a great job have lots of fun doing so.hot loading an S-2 is a blast
-
each tank holds 4,000 gallons i work with the dc-10 out of victorville
-
it does not smother the fire, the retardant just slows the fire down. any wildland fire fighter well tell you that
-
the DC-10 actually drops 12,000 gallons. The second biggest is the P-3 Orion which drops 3,000 gallons.
-
That is Fire Retardent that helps smother the blaze and prevent more fire.

Nate The red stuff is Phos-chek a fire retardant liquid gel that feels like mud...that drop was the max load of 10,000 gallons.. most of the smaller bombers carry 2,000 gal max...thanks for watching.

As I type this, the 910 is fightning a fire right here in my community of Big Bear. It's an amazing aircraft, beuatiful to watch as it drops it's load of retardant in just a few seconds. Thanks to the firefirghters who are working valiantly to save our community. I have complete faith in them.
