I hope someone in the US gets over their Russian Bear fear because, as a water bomber, this aircraft would be indispensable in fighting our frequent forest and brush fires. Purchasing these airplanes is probably cheaper in the long run than modifying heavily used commercial and military aircraft for that role.

Please, let's not ship any more manufacturing overseas. I like Beriev aircraft a lot but they don't make anything over there that we can't make better here. I spent most of my working life in the Aerospace Industries. Let's pay more to keep the American standard of living. Produce more in America. We import way too much already. I think the Erickson offers a better precise solution. The Beriev can only carry 3170 gallons while the DC-10 ( Tanker 910) can carry up to 12,000 gallons of fire retardant (http://www.fire.ca.gov/communication...heets/DC10.pdf). Retrofitting and restoring aircraft is often far cheaper than making new ones. It is done all the time and is a major industry in the U.S.. It employs and trains 1000's of people in the areas of expertise that we can ill afford to lose.

This is a suitable solution, people are working on this and the solution is at hand, see link: Evergreen Supertanker

Hello!
Zathros: thank you!
USA Supersonic: I think that Beriev as each plane has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can operate directly from the water, defect, that it takes only 12 tons of water to extinguish the fire.

Step by step, and I added next elements in the interior.

Best regards.

While this plane is not my favourite, it's good to see you designing it with such attention to details. I hope that when you finish it, you will turn your attention back to the 1930's racing planes.
Anyway, keep up the good job!

Hello!
Thank you Kazziga!
Before back to racing planes first I have to finish my older designs: Whirlwind and Dassault Rafale, which is more than a year waiting for a finish. After them I'll think about new projects

Today seats (Fortunately 2 pieces only).

Best regards:

Hello!
After a few days short break in the design I`m back to the work. Today ladder, bench and rack on the rescue stretchers, which are in the rear of the plane.
I hope soon interior will be ready.
