Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous

[VFN102]

My last post for now. You have to see this beast in person to appreciate it's size. When the Virginia Air National Guard 192nd Fighter Wing in Sandston was relocated to Langley AFB as part of the BRAC base closures, it was sold to New Kent for $1.00 (I think that's correct). It's not really used as a traditional tanker, but is being set up as a Wildland Interface Support unit. The concept being to carry extra forestry hose, rakes, bladder tanks, foam, chain saws, etc and to be driven into fields allowing brush trucks to refill closer to the incident.
