Pre-takeoff checklist
Anyone have any good ideas why forest service would ban the big boys from dropping on fires?

I can come up with a few on my own but they don't hold water (pun intended) even to me. This just baffles me. I'm not one for conspiracies, but this does reek a bit of undue influence. I've spent my life being wrong and learning from it, so why doesn't the Forest Service want DC-10s and 747s dropping 10,000+ gallons on fires?
