The main purpose with this list is to provide members with info on airtanker and firebomber sightings, movements, photos, owner changes or any other info that may be relevant for the airtanker enthusiast. All members are strongly encouraged to send any such news to the entire list. Postings not related directly to airtankers will not be accepted and the author should expect to be put under strict moderation regarding future postings. Also, if you know of any “airtanker fans” out there, please pass this message along.
Due to some attempts to spam this and other lists I have decided to place all new members on moderation - initially, any of your postings will be approved by the moderator/s. As soon as I believe you wish to post normally to the group the moderation will be removed. For normal traffic the only
effect will be a possible delay of up to 8 hours before your message is posted to the list.
Also, when joining please introduce yourself to the rest of the group.
