Fruita CO | Water bombers are used here in the west all the time, they just don't scoop water on the go...the local airport here is a fire tanker base whenever there's a fire within about 100 miles. They fly over my place on the way out or back, I miss the old Liberators, the new jets just aren't as cool to hear flying over...
