Ooh! Sounds like a nice retirement job
130 knots to do a drop with a 15t payload? You’ll need an awful lot of flap out for that, even in an SFP variant......

Odd sound in the sky over here a few months ago of a jetliner maneauvering, don't get many jets at the local Airport .
Was not fast enough too grab the camera though as a DC-10 dumped its load on a fire just over the river, Photos from the local paper.

I would like to see the big flying boat in action. Only a few videos from time to time.
Thinking about it, the probably bought the big Air Tanker in because of the close proximity to the 1000Ha Mulwala munitions / Propellant factory .
I’d like to see the 747 version on action. From memory, on some flight profiles to stay within limits, they had to lower the gear during drops. Low and slow (and unmaneuverable) in a Jumbo tackling that sort of turbulence doesn’t leave a lot of room for error!
Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from taking a nap.
Enjoy the show.
