The Very Large Airtankers or the DC-10s with a 9000gal payload…or their nickname “VLAT” are not in California because CalFire’s current LAT contractors are keeping the lid on fire containment with the #CalFire fleet of small tankers…VLAT 910 and VLAT 914 are in Phoenix with the large fires in #AZ #azwildfire…VLAT 912 is in the Pacific Northwest on the tarmac in Washington…VLAT 911 is in Colorado Springs…they can be in the air in a moments notice. #avgeek #wildfire #dc10lovers
