Fighting fires
When I see the news footage, of the small planes and helicopters dropping their loads, it looks like a drop of water in my BBQ.
I hope this does not seem silly. But, in the future, with upgrades, could the USAF use B52’s with water canisters to do mass drops of water or chemicals on huge fires like the one in California?
Couldn’t thin skinned plastic or fiberglass molds in the shape of an ordnance (like the bombs it was designed to carry), be used to do massive ‘carpet bombings’ of water on big fires?
