Oh, Yes and more than that. What is outrageous is that you have really bad fires out there and the government have not bought as many MAFFS2 water bombing kits as they have C130s. They aren't that expensive and when things get heavy, they should be able to throw at it every Herc they've got with its MAFFS2 and enough trained crews.
Getting back to crop sprayers, who would pay? Possibly insurance companies by inserting a clause saying that if a client has a 24hr arrangement, then they get a certain discount. [There should be some sort of international federation of insurance companies].
