Great video!

Hope they reinforced that wing spar on the C-130

This is the new breed of water bombers and why Coulson's wants to retire one of the Martin Mars water bombers. The Herc probably cost about half in maintenance than the Mars does to run. But Coulson's is being blocked by the Canadian government on the transfer of the Mars to the U.S.Navy Aviation Museum in Florida. Conair's a leader in aerial fire fighting the conversions of airliners and ex-military aircraft.
