Here is another of this very aircraft prior to the NSW Govt acquisition firebombing a ridge in the US - guy goes in STEEP, pushing over at the crest of the ridge before dropping the retardant. Definitely 0 g ~ negative g moment :)

The NSW Govt BAe 146 tanker and the C-130 tanker were both in at Canberra today refilling.

While I have seen it before...very cool footage...

...not sure whether I'd want to go back to flying light aircraft :)

I think any pilot would kill to fly that! Spectacular stuff! No waypoints or laptops in that route!

Nice work if you can get it.

It's OK - with the A380 now cancelled, there will be some on the surplus market that could be converted to double-deck bombers. You'd love watching those big wings flex flying through the canyons :P

I hear Oscar Quebec Alpha is tired and needing a retirement plan :)

Flying "Nancy" as a water bomber....humm....now that would be cool!
