That's unfortunate. It looks like California is looking at a busy fire season, the capacity of Tanker 944 will be missed.

this seems odd. DOes anyone in california expect less forest fires this year? The capacity of the 747 cannot be discarded without much thought as seems here. THis 747 is a single-use marvel of imagination . Somebody ought to acquire this plane, put into the public firefighting air force, and get ready to use it. We are goingto need it.

Maybe a group of the wacko environmentalists can get together, pool their money, and buy the aircraft to put it back in service... After all, they're the ones that screwed up all the forests to begin with....

No, the investors saw the promo vid for the new Canadair 515 and realized they were wasting their money.

Besides Mark, by definition environmentalists love trees more than you seem to.

Hah! Great. I was thinking along the same lines. To love trees so much that one cannot salvage a bit of firewood to keep the forests clean isn't environmental stewardship. California can't seem to get there forestry act together, so the tankers will always be needed.

Environmental groups aren't happy that it lays down more retardant than necessary. Sounds kind if stupid but I guess we can't have too much of a good thing.

In California firefighting is all about the money. That tanker will fly again as soon as the season starts there just changing names of the people that collect the money from the state just another scam organised crime at its finest.

I am so sorry Super Tanker #944 will be sidelined, unbelievable given the forecasted drought conditions this year. I loved seeing this beauty at MCC, watching many take off's, with the finest crew around! I followed each day the mission in Brazil's Rain Forest. I have seen this tanker in action around NorCal, and tracked its flight path on many missions throughout the state. This is a major loss to fire suppression!! Thank you to the crew, hope to see you all again soon!
