The DC10’s a running controversy. Some love it, some don’t. It has some value on a day like this when it’s the only fixed wing that can get off the ground. However, in a situation where it’s operating with traditional water-droppers it’s a pain, ‘cause you have to clear them out every time the 10 sets up to make a drop, and it lacks the nimbleness and forgiveness of the smaller aircraft. I have a feeling we’ll see a large ‘thud’ some time in the next season or so.
