  1. It looks like there are two retardant openings in the belly: one forward and one aft of the main landing gear. Is this correct? When loading, do they hook up hoses in two locations (within the painted red zones) or is there an internal connecting pipe that allows for one loading hose to fill the entire tank?

    • One hose, one tank, 2 nozzles, works really well.
