    Cool. My company did structural static and damage tolerance analysis/certification on the 742 and 744 tankers.

    Fantastic. Assume the haze is smoke...

    Fire tankers are often staged here at Rocky Mountain Airport near Denver... the BAE 146 was here last time I was out there.

    I thought this thread was going to be on the KC-10 and a proposed aerial refueling version of the 747
