10 Tanker Air Carrier is a small business incorporated in 2002 to research, develop and operate fixed wing jet aircraft for aerial firefighting. Their founders believed a higher standard of capability and safety could be brought to the industry by incorporating airline standards of maintenance and operations with modified jet transports.[1] Four years of R&D and the investment of over 30 million Dollars of private capital have produced a game-changing innovation with next generation Tank Controller Systems.

DC-10's lead the way in performance and efficiency, with the capability to deliver 9,400 gallons of fire retardant within 8 seconds and up to a mile long. Creating greater containment lines, in less time saving both wildlife and resources. Year after year 10 Tanker responds to hundreds of wildfires and delivers millions of gallons worldwide. Their mission is to push the boundaries of research and development to continue providing the most efficient aerial firefighting around the globe. They operate large fixed-wing aircraft, specifically DC-10s that have been modified to carry and drop massive amounts of fire retardant. These aircraft are capable of delivering up to 12,000 gallons of retardant per drop, covering large areas to help control and extinguish wildfires.
