The video above was produced by the Missoulian when Tanker 910, a DC-10, visited Missoula on April 24. It features Captain Jack Maxey describing the features of the huge air tanker which carries 11,600 gallons of retardant.
The aircraft also stopped by Brainerd, MN, Rapid City, SD, and Billings, MT, taking the scenic route while ferrying back home to southern California following a C-check in Michigan.
Photos of the Tanker taken during the Rapid City visit are over at Wildfire Today.
Thanks go out to Dick
I like that you guys picked Missoula, and pretty impressive that you went “down Brainard way, dontcha know”.
Keep up the good work boy’s. You will get that exclusive use contract someday soon.
I told you they would get a contract soon 🙂
