747 supertanker in battle to save Brazilian forests
This is an amazing aircraft. It can fill, fly to a fire within 300 miles, drop its load, return, refill, and be on it's way within an hour. (www.ktvu.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I have flown 747's around the world. What a fitting use for a great airplane.
That they went down to help fight the fires is a good thing. The people I feel for are the indigenous peoples there that do not want to be bothered by anyone.
Looking at the satellite image of the fires,

they have their job cut out for them, any help is good help.

I'm done here. Can't have an intelligent conversation/debate with people who insist on slanting the topic to suit their own
personal agendas.
Now there's someone throwing out "what -if's". Here's one-"What if" no plane crashes? You can make up "what if"
scenarios forever.
As a retired firefighter and aviation buff,
I can truly appreciate the enormous fire suppression impact carried out by the 747 Supertanker, regardless of where its operating.

Wrong... This is not correct. The B-747 Super tanker is fliying in Bolivia's Chiquitania lands. This area is in the Santa Cruz state in Bolivia. Please get the detail corrected.
By the way, it is using Viru Viru International Airport (VVI) in Santa Cruz for this operations in Bolivia.
