*ping* to the AvList - DC-10 Firefighter mishap

They need to change the mission profile; 'bomb' from altitude as a DC-10 doesn't handle turbulance like an S-2 Tracker. Maybe set up a B-52 bombsight as plenty of water would still hit the ground.

And...I don't understand this one at all: It has not yet been certified by the U.S. Forest Service, so...[for the Tahoe Angora] it is not authorized to fight fires.

How can it be certified to fight some fires, but not all???

&^%$#@ b'crats.....
