96 tons of water!!!!!

The hell with that, how about 400' AGL and only 140 KIAS?

We were a heck of a lot lower in the C-54 on our drops..I think with the
pressuization system, they plan on dropping higher, but it will be hard to be
precise at all, or go into canyons.

The 747 will be good for a deluge from around 600-800 AGL, but its going to
be a deluge, and not something that will be precise or that you can do with the
"grubbies" nearby
