I wonder why they selected that name for this firefighter plane. Is it Aqua-bama because the company is out of Alabama? or is it related to the new president? lol I hope its the former and not the latter. This thing looks like it can do some serious damage against a field fire. I didnt see where in the article that the plane gathers the water. Does it have to land between fill ups or can it fly over water and suck up/scoop up water to refill the tanks? I love this aerial firefighter planes they are really cool. My uncle was worked fire rescue and flew a helicopter. Ever since I did a ride along with him I have been totally interested in this stuff. Great post. Very cool post.
