(Above: file photo of Tanker 03 taken by the Oklahoma Forestry Services last summer.)
Saturday afternoon another air tanker joined the fleet in Chile helping the firefighters deal with heavy wildfire activity that began several weeks ago. Neptune Aviation’s Tanker 03 (N475NA) arrived after a multi-day flight from Missoula, Montana.
It will be based in Concepción.
I just spotted it in Tulsa, OK today
Where did it arrive in Chile, and will that be its operating base please?
T-03 arrived in Santiago, however it will based in Concepcion.
Many thanks for your prompt reply Michelle, good to know of its arrival location, and eventual operating base.
Did they bring a load of long term retardant with them from Missoula? (gear door-belly)
If so another new record!
