Fog real thick here this morning, need radar to find the highway and a compass to tell which way to head out.

Smoke so thick tourists are using GPS to find their way around, the fires in the PNW are at the critical stage. No people to put on the fire, talk of having Aussie fire crews come here, hope so soon

Seems the whole West coast is on fire!! I wouldn`t want to be fighting fire out there for no amount of money. I have done several stints on this coast when I was younger, its the hottest /dirtiest work I ever done and did I mention dangerous!! They need more aerial dousing power now more than ever. I havn`t heard of them using the big Martins but they sure could use a couple hundred this year.

This is one of the planes they're using here not sure but it looks like a DC8, very impressive



Could sure use a lot more

 

[dancan]

Likely an MD 80 or MD 90 due to the two engines near the tail and the ,strakes under the cockpit.

I'm not much on airplanes but those two engines that far back made me think that. Just wish they had many more

Yeah the DC8 has the four engines on the wings, they have a long cruise range and could likely lift a good load, don`t remember ever seeing one used as a tanker. The DC 9 has the two engines at the rear of the fuselage but they don`t have strakes on the forward fuselage, not that they couldn`t be added if necessary.

DC 9 must be what I was thinking of, I flew in one from Spokane to Detroit only time I had an opportunity to see one.

We've had three or four of these working out in front of house on the lake Sound like a lot of horsepower.
