:? In the video I see firetrucks but no water?
Why aren't they putting the fire out? It won't matter for insurance, because it's gouvernment equipment anyway.
We need spare parts ..... :roll:

Where do you get that from? Omega Air Refueling services is a private corporation, and that was a civilian N-reg plane.
