    There’s a whole bunch of tired firefighters in the West who would just love to see a couple dozen of these appear out of the thin air.

    There is a Grumman Albatross somewhere in that beastie’s background.

    Looks like it would have more cargo room than the Shin Meiwa US-1’s and US-2’s, but about the same weight limits.
    The Martin Mars still might be larger, radial engines sound better too.
