Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Evergreen Supertanker is a Boeing 747-100 widebody aircraft that was modified into an aerial firefighting aircraft by Evergreen International Aviation. With a capacity of 20,500 US gallons (77, 600 liters), it is the largest aerial firefighting aircraft in the world. The next largest firefighting tanker aircraft is the Ilyushin Il-76P. The Supertanker entered service for the first time in 2009, fighting a fire in Cuenca, Spain. The tanker made its first American operation on 31 August 2009 at the Oak Glen Fire. The current tanker is N479EV, tanker/tail number 979. Development started after the 2002 fire season, which saw the fatal crashes of two air tankers in the USA. The accidents, involving a Lockheed C-130A Hercules and a Consolidated PB4Y-2, prompted the U.S. Department of Interior to issue an official Request for Information on next-generation airtankers.
