2 firms want to use jumbo jets to fight forest fires
" Big jets may go to work on Western forest fires this summer.

Two companies, one with a DC-10 and the other with a 747, are bidding for contracts in a field dominated by an aging air tanker fleet that has been beset by crashes in recent years. "

I want to see a 747 swooping down and releasing a few swimming pools worth of H2O at 200 feet...
