Hope I'm putting this in the right place, sorry if it needs moving, but perhaps someone can make a water effect to match this real 747 water drop? I suppose I'm the last one to know of this 747?

Giant firefighting aircraft to get Alaska test
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.
