We have been doing training the past two months, observed a slurry bomber head NNE while flying over Gold Canyon today.

Could not ID the one I observed yesterday, it looked like a DC4.

More likely to be a DC-6. DC-4's are almost all retired or in museums. Can someone verify if the air tanker boys still use DC-4's?

I was also thinking it was a Orion P-3 but don't know if they were using the P-3, I knew they were using the P-2's but I believe they were grounded.
