TITAN ARFF - US Air Force Air Transportable

So today what we did was load test the next generation of air

force

rescue and firefighting aircraft p19. Let's see that it is replacing the original 1980s model that has been used in a war for transport by C-130 aircraft, so we dedicated aircraft on numerous occasions, both supported. We put it on him and drove him around and tried all the different pressure points and were able to tie him up. They fit the plane like a glove on your hand. This process began about four years ago when Air Force Central Command reached out. to us and asking us for help getting funding to replace what you see here on my left, the original air

transportable

p19 model from Haiti, we were able to help them get funding and we were able to get 49 of this new model that's on my right. the next generation air

transportable

p19 has never done it before, there's always that apprehension of whether it's going to work or not, because when you see their ship from a distance and you see the truck, you're like, well, I don't know if that's going to happen. . to fit right in, so there's a little bit of nervousness and is this going to work?

And I think that was it the first time we loaded the plane, you know, that's why we took it really well, easy and slow, and yeah. When it's all said and done, yeah, I think you could see a lot of relieved people and a lot of happy faces and a lot of high fives. I look at this like it's history, history was made today in the air

and that's a The good thing is you know the older trucks are held together with band aids there and we know we have something coming to give that warrior what he you need to do your mission.

Now this truck can go on a C-17 and a C5 but the C-130 is the aircraft chosen in the theater of operations there these trucks here transport a thousand gallons now depending on the plane an example is the C-130 based on a formula that requires you to have 3114 gallons to be able to land and take off for those types of operations, this one will first go to Tyndall Air Force Base, the server's flag view to train the war fighters that are passing through there so that when it gets to the theater they can operate it with no problems, another one will go to Ramstein cts and then the other 47 will go to mid-game and should start arriving in the next three months and all this construction should be done on all the trucks there probably in the next two years.

He won, he's been a great manufacturer to work with, we've been working on this together. I think the award probably came about a little less than two years ago and you know, I couldn't ask for a better partner to work with. We, from a manufacturing perspective, have asked a lot of questions, the engineers have done a lot of work, and a lot of people he wants have done a great job. He should be very proud of the product they produce for the Air Force.
