  • Oshkosh P-4 Basics

    The workhorse of the crash fleet for more than two decades, the Oshkosh P-4 was air-transportable on a C-130 Hercules and could be adapted for fighting either aircraft or structural fires. Air Force firefighters appreciated the air-conditioned crew compartment and the ease with which its Allison Torquematic transmission operated.
