Re: A little excitement here the other day!
That air tanker is a Convair 440 (former airliner) with turbo-prop engines. When I was a kid in northern California in the '60s and '70s the air tankers were B-17s, TBM Avengers, F7F Tigercats, and later, S2F trackers (piston, now turbo), DC-4s, 6s, and 7s. Air drops are still fun to watch but when they had big recip engines it was really exciting.
