| Photographer's remark | A versatile machine starting out as an aerial topdresser, then a parachutist's ride to altitude and now a fire fighting machine. PKB drops two tons of water in two seconds and with its already high climb rate it can get out of tricky locations very quickly with the rapid weight loss. Warbirds over Wanaka 2008. |
