Are they using it right now in LA?
Saying it could be another two weeks to get the fires under control
Hopefully this huge flying watering can will help speed the process up

This thing just might be the single biggest waste of money in wildland firefighting, completely impractical. In my opinion it is all politics, proven on this forum by people thinking this is a good idea. It made a drop on the fire going on by my station and it is a complete waste. Tried to do it from something like 8,000 feet, did nothing. however, the general public does love to hear about the giant 747 supertanker coming to save the day
