That's unfortunate. It looks like California is looking at a busy fire season, the capacity of Tanker 944 will be missed.
this seems odd. DOes anyone in california expect less forest fires this year? The capacity of the 747 cannot be discarded without much thought as seems here. THis 747 is a single-use marvel of imagination . Somebody ought to acquire this plane, put into the public firefighting air force, and get ready to use it. We are goingto need it.
Maybe a group of the wacko environmentalists can get together, pool their money, and buy the aircraft to put it back in service... After all, they're the ones that screwed up all the forests to begin with....
No, the investors saw the promo vid for the new Canadair 515 and realized they were wasting their money.
Besides Mark, by definition environmentalists love trees more than you seem to.

Hah! Great. I was thinking along the same lines. To love trees so much that one cannot salvage a bit of firewood to keep the forests clean isn't environmental stewardship. California can't seem to get there forestry act together, so the tankers will always be needed.
was based at old McClellan AFB Sacramento on and off for several years... must cost a lot to operate...the many DC10s still around, I guess
