This beautiful RJ-85 has been converted to a next generation air tanker for wildland fire fighting. You can see the large 3,000 gallon external tank that Conair use on their jets. Several of these jets have been completed with more on the way. On display at the Abbotsford International Airshow 2019.

These agile jets must make good waterbombers Jetzguy.

You are correct. Their steep descent profile ability is a huge asset in the mountains
where they are laying retardant lines down hill or across ridge lines etc. Dropping down
a hillside quickly under complete control is so important in wildfire fighting. These
jets will do quite well over time I am sure.
