Aircraft of the 2019/2020 Fire Season

These two posters help give some perspective to the scale of aerial firefighting in Australia. There are some notable aircraft missing, e.g. CL-215/415 and the Boeing 747 tanker.

Thanks for this, it's interesting to see Canadian and Japanese aircraft involved.

Love these pictures especially when they’re all to scale like that.

ETA actually, not sure the aircraft are to scale?

Yeah, don't think so.

A C17 is 53m long, a DC10 is 55m long.

Still some very cool pictures though!

Nice pictures.

Sadly the Herc in the top right hand corner didn't make it. (Think that is what the small logo above it is portraying)

DC10 and C17 cockpits are also one in the same. Windows are the same parts as well.
