I've seen smaller planes doing retardant drops before. But seeing a DC-10, up close and personal like that would be amazing.
+Tom Nathe I'd like to see that end of her journey too. She flies over our house at a rather uncomfortable altitude several times a day and that's impressive as it is.
And I thought the last one was a bit large (I didn't get a good look).
I'm about 95% sure it wasn't a DC-10 though.
A little poking around, 10 Tanker is flying one of their DC-10's (tail number 911) on the Deitweiller fire, and GST is flying a fucking 747-400 (tail number 944) out of here for the Ponderosa fire. I'll try to get a photo if the air is good & I hear her light up the engines before takeoff.
FWIW, the DC-10 carries around 10K gallons of retardant. The 747, almost double that, or the equivalent of a 15'x30'x6' deep swimming pool.
(sorry, I watch them all take off, so I geek about what they're doing a little)
