#yeah cause ive had this DC-10 OC for a long time and really wanna post about them

So I'm working of some firefighter OCs, and I'm trying to make sure the models are those which Piston peak's air attack base can handle. Considering their biggest aircraft being Cabbie and dipper, when we consider their takeoff distance you get 580 and 850m respectively. But considering their overall biggest was the C-130 seen in the "wall of fame", that gives us a takeoff distance of 1,110 m (C-130's varies from 1,005-1,095 m).

-> I wasn't gonna take the Martin Mars into consideration because even though they're the biggest, Martin Mars aircraft is not amphibious like the CL-415 (Lil' Dipper), they always had to land in water. However @jigsaw173 posted this certain picture:

And in the picture you can see the Martin Mars aircraft has gears. Considering their size and huge weight, I'm considering they'd need the runway to be near or above 2,000 m cause landing and takeoff distances vary, and takeoff distance is often higher.

[Again, credits to: @jigsaw173 for finding this and posting it]

-> Ok now taking consideration of the largest jet seen at Piston peak would be Siddeley (or that guy who does look like Siddeley, if it's not him), his model is inspired by a Gulfstream V, whose takeoff distance is 1,570 m.

I don't know what to do with the lodge's runway, but if it's that long, then certainly the air attack team's base should've had such a long runway too.

-> Why am I blabbering about this?? Cause I wanted to make a DC-10 Air tanker OC but due to their size, I wondered if they could land and take off from the base. Did I get my answer? No not exactly but I feel like the runway should be near 2,000 m long so I'll take it and somehow work them out.
