In the western half of the United States, fire bombers are not an uncommon sight. During the “fire season,” which can extend from June through November, these specially modified aircraft are used to drop fire retardant chemicals or water on wildfires. It can be an entertaining and instructive classroom exercise to use pictures of these planes in action to calculate the speed of the plane during a drop run.
