Call me crazy, but this just looks like the wrong tool for the job. A swept wing jet is made for speed, not high maneuverability and wing stregth, which are 2 desireable characteristics when dealing with fire attacks.

Yep, it is a bunch of water in one spot, but is that what is needed when fighting fires??

What about the Evergreen 747 Supertanker out in Arizona? Puts this DC10 to shame!

Who needs to manuever, you just soak the whole 10 mile square area.
