I just ran across this interesting item....This was apparently news last summer. Anyone know more about it? BAe146-200 air tanker. http://wildfiretoday.com/2010/05/26/a-n ... /#comments http://missoulian.com/news/local/articl ... 002e0.html  Photo by TOM BAUER/Missoulian |

Most interesting. There are a fair number of 146's sitting around gathering spiderwebs and dust. If it pans out like they hope, it will bring airborne firefighting into the 21st Century for sure. |

I think it's cool that they painted with the lighning bolt just like a lot of the Neptune airtankers...which of course were kept from when the aircraft used to be with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
