Was over at the Wildland Fire Fighting Conference in Sydney last week and the general consensus was that the AFAC and NAFC involvement in this contracting is the biggest stuff up since Ben Hur.
Seems like they still havent said who has won the contracts and the fire season is already in full swing. Dont know if John Eacott or the others know whats going on but its a circus at the very least.
I do know that Superior Helicopter will have their first Kmax up and operational on the 1st of November and the second one a week later. Carson will have their two S-61s down there for the season on an ad hoc basis and I also heard that they did flight testing of their new belly tank for the S-61 and it went very well.
Any one else have any updates on the season so far.
