About the PZL-Mielec M-18 Dromader
Land-based air tanker
It loads water or retardant on the ground and attacks from a runway base. It can knock down flames with water or lay a retardant line ahead of the fire to slow its spread and support crews on the ground.
What this type can do
The M-18 Dromader is a compact agricultural aircraft converted into a single-engine tanker. It makes accurate, relatively small water or retardant drops for initial attack and flank work, then returns to an airstrip to reload.
This describes the type’s usual firefighting capability; it does not prove what this aircraft is carrying or doing now.
The PZL-Mielec M-18 Dromader is a single engine agricultural aircraft that is manufactured by PZL-Mielec in Poland. The aircraft is used mainly as a cropduster or firefighting machine.
