The DC-10 has been used as a tanker for several in fighting fires. Likely not shopped.

several in fighting fires = several years in fighting fires

It's fake. Ask how Evergreen Avi who are bankrupt can fly this plane? Cal fire refused to use it last year.

The DC-10 is real. It was used back in 2007.

A 747 water bomber has also was tried in 2009.

If there was a fleet of 747s on standby they could stop the largest of fires in a hurry, but for some reason they don’t really seem to be interested in doing this.
