8. Might I recommend FlightRadar24 if you want to track them?

I was sad to read that the 747 supertanker was retired by the investment group that owned it as it was more profitable to sell it to a cargo carrier, but it looks like a new one may be ready for operation! It's a nose-loading 747-200 operated by Logistic Air, who bought the fire retardant system from the previous owner and put it into a new plane. No news as to whether it will fly out of McClellan, but where else is there, really?
