Some information about Tanker 40 who was over the Dog Bar Fire today: Tanker 40 (T-40) is a BAe-146. It is owned by Neptune Aviation Services, Inc. of Missoula, Montana. The BAe-146 was originally manufactured by BAe Systems (British Aerospace). This aircraft, which is considered a prototype next generation airtanker, is turbine powered; can carry approximately 3,000 gallons of retardant; and has a cruising speed in excess of 330 knots. It is comparable in size to the P2Vs in the existing commercial Large Airtanker fleet, so it can be used at existing Airtanker bases. yubanet/nevada/Dog_Bar.php
