Omni Air International Air Tanker

Omni Air International has converted a DC-10 into an aerial tanker. After a successful test, the FAA certified this aircraft for firefighting.

DC-10 backed by an Oklahoma air-charter company, Omni Air International, and fitted with a tank built by Erickson Air-Crane of Central Point.

DC-10 hauls 12,000 gallons of water in a tank strapped to its underside. Conventional air tankers haul up to about 3,000 gallons a flight.
