    The P2V's are privately owned and are a major help.
    I have added more images to my site, I didn't have the camera in hand while the DC10 was making it's pass.

    Other than the very few Air Force operated C130 bombers all the fire bombers are privately owned companies that are contracted every year by the forest service.
