Dave, thought you might like this photo I took today of a Melex M-18 Dromader (Single Engine Airtanker or SEAT to the Aircrews) which was operating out of our local airport (KILM) today fighting a brush fire in a neighboring county. I estimate there were 5 of them coming and going in circuits. They were making very low & steep turns base to final in RTF (Return to Field) which we aren't used to seeing with usual Commercial & GA aircraft. This Dromader is operated by the NC Forest Service.
