  • P2V over Reno

    I'm used to seeing Neptune Aviations silver and red neptunes around here.
    Last evening there was a yellow and white one making t&g's at Reno international. All I can find in those colors are US Forest Service. Anyone know who operates it? I thought Neptune was the last one using them.

    Minden Air Tankers...they have 2 that they operate...the color scheme you saw and then a red/grey/yellow version. I believe tanker 48 and 55. They are also working on a BAE 146 based air tanker.

      I blanked on Minden Air...
      Thanks!
      Seems like the Bae-146 would be a good alternative for the future.
      I remember flying on those in the old PSA days. The "Premie C-5"

        I saw that aircraft over Virginia City on Saturday. They were doing high performace turns at altitude. Seemed like they were training or testing. Pretty cool to watch.

              I've seen Tanker 48 landing at Reno a couple times this month.
