Fairbanks Daily News-Miner: Oregon-based Evergreen International Aviation today will demonstrate its new $50 million Boeing 747-100 "Supertanker" on the Railbelt Complex forest fire that's been burning south of Fairbanks for weeks. The jumbo jet has 10 times the capacity of the largest firefighting tankers currently in use in Alaska. The former Pan-Am passenger jet was first demonstrated on a real fire last week in Spain. "We are always interested in seeing what's out there to fight fires effectively and efficiently," said a state forestry division spokesman. See a video of the 747 in action at YouTube.
