this is T40 it is to fly from the Minden air attack base this summer.atleast thats what i could find on the net...its a BAe-146..im not sure of what model...and i dont know the gallons capasity as of yet...im looking into it all..

i also added a pic of my favorite CalFire airtanker...T89 flown from the grass valley ATB by Joe "Hoser" Satrapa,he is awesome as a pilot....i saw him roll T89 almost on to its back in the american river canyon in an effort to lay line down the steep canyon walls...was really something to see...

Hehe, Hoser is well-known in the USN F-14 community. When it comes to gung-ho, aggressive pilots he's the real deal. Not surprising that he flies those turbo-Stoofs like they were fighters.
 
I remember requesting the tanker model when HJG made their 146 available. There were none in service at that time. It's a neat use of the 146. I'm glad to see they are actually being used.
