The schedule for the visits of Air Tanker 910 to airports in Minnesota, South Dakota, and Montana that Wildfire Today told you about last week has been revised due to snow at Rapid City. (An air tanker should not have to suffer the indignity of de-icing.)
The revised schedule for the DC-10 operated by 10 Tanker Air Carrier is as follows, but keep in mind that the times are approximate, subject to change, and could vary by up to 30 minutes or so. All times are local.
Tuesday, April 23
- Brainerd, Minnesota, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Rapid City, South Dakota, 2 p.m., and departing the next morning
Wednesday, April 24
- Billings, Montana, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Missoula, Montana, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
At this time there are no planned tours for the public, but they may be able to see the DC-10 through a fence or from other locations.
