Another shot of the P2V at the Aspen fire

One of the new generation jet air tankers, a BAE 146 lining up for a drop.

I am not that impressed by the DC10 and the hype surrounding it had begun to turn me off of the jet tanker concept. The BAE 146s have won me over, they get in low like the old prop jobs. It doesn't hurt that this one is flown by Neptune Aviation so shares the RCAF lightning bolt seen on many P2Vs (Neptunes P2Vs were second hand from Canada).
