Default DC-10s as Water Bombers?

Over on the binary channel "alt.binaries.pictures.aviation" someone has
posted a supposedly authentic picture of an experimental DC-10 jetliner
dropping a prodigious (to say the least) amount of water on a ground target.

It looks like they could have extinguished the recent Southern California
fires single-handedly with one of those babies...

Anyone heard of this project?
