Modular Airborne Fire Fighting Systems

The Modular Airborne FireFighting System (MAFFS) is a self-contained unit used for aerial firefighting that can be loaded onto C-130 Hercules aircraft, allowing them to be used as air tankers against wildfires. The system consists of five pressurized fire retardant tanks with a total capacity of 2,700 gallons and associated equipment, which can be installed in any C-130E or H equipped with the 463L cargo-handling system. The MAFFS II is an improved version of the system, with a capacity of up to 3,000 gallons and the ability to pressurize the system in the air, reducing turn-around time significantly.learn more on wikipedia
