Hoser, did you get a new job?? ;)
This week, the world’s biggest and fastest firefighting 747 will have its official homecoming in the US. Global SuperTanker’s Spirit of John Muir will touch down in Colorado Springs on Thursday.
From a maritime perspective, the news is significant because the plane is capable of reaching and fighting rig and mid-ocean ship fires far more quickly than any other asset is currently able to, according to its owner. Additionally, the plane is the only very large air tanker certified by authorities in the US for oil spill dispersal giving it plenty of possibilities for the future of salvage operations.
