Tom Brown found five Erickson Aero Tanker MD-87 tankerss at Madras, Oregon on May 5 and was able to grab this photo of all of them.
Thanks Tom!
In June 2016 I also saw five of Erickson’s MD-87s at Madras. They were parked in single file and my 24mm lens was not wide enough to get them all. The one missing in the photo below also had “Spanair” on the side.
Erickson bought at least seven MD-87s. They began flying two of them as airtankers in 2014.

As air tankers get larger, fires get larger. As larger air tankers become more numerous, that must mean we’ll see more large fires.
