4 A firefighting aircraft converted from a DC-10-10 is used to combat forest fires. The video is spectacular and highly recommended.
It is said that this aircraft can hold 45,000 liters of fire retardant and can drop it all within 8 seconds. Regulations require a lead aircraft to guide large aircraft during extremely low-altitude flight, and this aircraft can also be seen in the video above.5 The A320neo is scheduled for its maiden flight tomorrow. Let’s wait and see.
Save the date! Don't miss the #A320neo first flight on Thursday at 1030CET! (Pending weather conditions) #A320neoFF pic.twitter.com/gQQBGdlaaQ
