Well....to be fair, both the DC-10 and the 747 are in use as fire fighting planes -- even as we speak. That must push their tolerances.

Heck, built a bomber variant of the DC-10. Reopen the plant in Long Beach. We need jobs in SoCal!

It is a great idea - for desperate times should they ever arrive.

Although they would probably work better as Spectre gunships.

We know you need the jobs, its just the business climate there is not conducive to any business in their right mind to go back especially when they could not keep Toyota there considering as desperate that Cal is for keeping what they have.
