RE: [californiadisasters] Possibilities for "New Generation Air Tankers"

What about using drones or pilotless tankers? Are these being used today?

Subject: [californiadisasters] Possibilities for "New Generation Air Tankers"

This article was published last Dec/2011 and is offered to update those
who are not current on efforts to replace the aging fleet of air
tankers. This is more likely a candidate for the "discussions" group
but since it has been quiet of late, I thought this might be of
interest, especially the VLAT discussion.

Be safe. Get prepared. Stay ready.
