How hard would it be to convert a B-52 into a water bomber?
idk, but it can carry hydrogen
>>65345275Most people carry some hydrogen, its a pretty common element
>>65345252Water bombers are better as straight winged aircraft. On a side note, if you fit a DHC-515 with ejection seats, you'd better provide the pilots with pressure suits. I'll leave it to the anons here to guess why.
>>65345252Not super hard, but pointless. They’re too old and too fat to be dicking around at low level. Yes, I know the Supertanker existed, but it never accomplished much before the company folded. Plus, I’m sure Russia would use it to bitch about MUH TREATIES or something.Better to permanently convert some C-130’s. Or create a Super MAFFS for C-17s. Or, I dunno, figure out some way to make water filled bombs that are compatible with JDAM kits. That’s be cool.
>>65345252You'd have to be careful when you fill it, otherwise you might accidentally get a rock lobster in the tank.
>>65345252You mean like this DC-10?
>>65345252I know the Air Force has C-130Js set up for firefighting. I think that's pretty cool.https://www.nationalguard.mil/News/Article-View/Article/4545199/california-air-guard-supports-wildfire-response/
>>65345252Drones will replace it
>>65345252Real question is how easy is it to scale these up to 16 inch naval shells and stick them on the Iowa for the next time Hollywood burns?
