Firefighting Aircraft

As that 747 is in the Evergreen scheme, is that the one they actually used as tanker for their fire-fighting trials?

Kit, I really couldn't say what it was used for other than it is a 'time-expired' 747 Freighter that Evergreen used.  The whole area where the water park and museum are, is on Evergreen property as McMinville is Evergreens center of air freight operations.  Out on the coast somewhere nearby is where the company has it's ship freighting center (not sure where though).  We see Sea-Cans marked up with Evergreen logos on freight trains quite often around here, do you see them in the UK ?

My nephew and his wife wanted to go into the water park which was only US$30.00 for the whole day, but we were only going to be in town for the morning as we had to get back on the road and continue with our road trip because I only had six days for my vacation and this was on day four.  We even didn't get to see the other half of the museum which is space orientated.

We do, yes, but all that common over here, outnumbered 500:1 by Mearsk!
